“For victory in life, we’ve got to keep focused on the goal, and the goal is Heaven.”

I think life is a matter of choices and that wherever we are, good or bad, is because of choices we make.

ESPN is a great organization to work for.

I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

One thing about me is I try to be honest.

Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely.

Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It’s the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

All an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate.

We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin – and it’s gonna happen – confession puts us back on the field.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age.

Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.

The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team.

Nothing brings me more happiness than trying to help the most vulnerable people in society. It is a goal and an essential part of my life – a kind of destiny. Whoever is in distress can call on me. I will come running wherever they are.

A goal is different from a wish. You may wish to be rich, but there’s no responsibility for it. With a goal, it’s on you to achieve it.

If you want to speak about scoring goals, you should judge every midfielder the same way.

Success equals goals; all else is commentary.

Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven’t paid the price to decide what is really important to them.

Don’t walk through life just playing football. Don’t walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone’s life, that’s the ultimate vision, that’s the ultimate goal – bottom line.

Goals reflect your choice of destination.

Take a minute: look at your goals, look at your performance, see if your behavior matches your goals.
