I learned to skate in our garage. We lived in the country in Florida, it was sort of farmish, and there was no cement anywhere else. Vert skating was the kind of skating that was done in pools, where you could get airborne and be weightless. The other style, which is what I did, was called free style, which was tricks you could do on flat ground. Rodney Mullen
A professional player is smarter than a college man. He uses his noodle. He knows what to do and when to do it. He rarely goes up in the air as is the case with most of our college players when they get in a tight place. Red Grange
Anything that happens that's good, they think, Oh, it's an accident, when is the roof caving in? You've got to get them out of that mental framework. Dick Butkus
Anything will worry me. I may not get a check for the light bill off in time and I just get to worrying. I'm a worrywart. Eric Dickerson

But I wasn't getting in my pace, staying within myself, I was getting a little rushed. So I think I finally took a couple deep breaths and let myself get my timing back. Cat Osterman
By the time you get to your ball, if you don't know what to do with it, try another sport. Julius Boros
Doug Ford was one of the first of the old pros I saw during my first full year on tour, in 1963. To this day he's the best chipper I've ever seen. One thing Doug did was get the ball onto the green and rolling right away, keeping it as low as possible. He never hit his chips higher than was absolutely necessary. Raymond Floyd
Every step, whether at high school or at college or at the NFL, I had to climb and crawl and scratch to get there. Victor Cruz
Fans tend to get too excited by streaks of either kind and I think the press does too. There should be a happy medium. Walt Alston
Golf is the hardest game in the world. There is no way you can ever get it. Just when you think you do, the game jumps up and puts you in your place. Ben Crenshaw
Granted, prostate exams aren't the most enjoyable things in the world, but they only last about 10 seconds. It's well worth it. Just think of the possible consequences if you don't get it done. Len Dawson
