MMA is my love.
HERSCHEL WALKERMMA is my love.
HERSCHEL WALKERMy message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you’re willing to work pay the price. It doesn’t matter what your age.
HERSCHEL WALKERI was a fat little kid with a speech impediment. I used to get beat up, not just picked on.
HERSCHEL WALKERIf you dedicate yourself to something, you can achieve it. It’s simple, but it’s true, and your age is just an excuse.
HERSCHEL WALKERMy God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else.
HERSCHEL WALKERWhen I started out as a little kid, I didn’t say ‘I just want to run football.’ I wanted to be a great athlete.
HERSCHEL WALKERBecause my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids.
HERSCHEL WALKERI was determined to make Renaissance Man Food Services and Herschel’s Famous 34 major players in a very tough industry.
HERSCHEL WALKEROur responsibility in life is not to lie around and wait for things to happen. Our responsibility in life is to work. Life is getting out and getting things done. When people say they’re over-the-hill at age 50, I don’t understand it.
HERSCHEL WALKERThat person has to be accountable for himself. I think that’s what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else’s life.
HERSCHEL WALKERI was a little different. I still say I’m a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.
HERSCHEL WALKERP.E. was my life in school. Without it, I wouldn’t be standing here. It gave me confidence when I was an overweight kid with a speech impediment.
HERSCHEL WALKERI always said I wanted to be a great athlete, ever since I was an overweight little kid. I just love competing in any kind of athletics.
HERSCHEL WALKERThe hardest thing I had to overcome in life? I think racism. That’s so difficult because I don’t think anyone can ever understand it. It’s not that people don’t want to understand it, but they don’t want to touch it.
HERSCHEL WALKERFootball, that’s just athletics. But in the business world – doing everything – people are competing. So you need good work ethics, and I think it helped me to develop good work ethics, being in a small town.
HERSCHEL WALKEROne thing I’ve done in my life is train year-round to compete at anything, anything. I’ve got an invitation now to maybe be on the karate team for the Barcelona Olympics. I’m debating whether I want to do that. I just love to compete, and I want to win.
