As a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.
HERSCHEL WALKERAs a born-again Christian, I believe God actively and directly influences me to action.
HERSCHEL WALKERMy God given talent is my ability to stick with training longer than anybody else.
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 WALKERComing from a small town it was tough to dream big. When I grew up in a small town in Georgia, my biggest dream was one day to be able to go to Atlanta.
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 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 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 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 WALKERGrowing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn’t the best looking guy, I wasn’t the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.
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’m just not a guy that loves to eat. I love to work and love to work out. I think I go against all the nutritionists who say you need to do this or need to do that, so I’m one of the oddballs.
HERSCHEL WALKERI’d usually read the Bible a lot. Read little short Bible stories. And today, whenever I give speeches, I bring up a few of those Bible stories, because those are inspirations to me.
HERSCHEL WALKERI do this ‘Walker shake.’ You got to get knocked down many times, shake it off. Life is about ups and downs, and you got to keep standing up.
HERSCHEL WALKERWhen I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go up.
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.
