I look at it this way. I'm not putting age limits on what I can do. As long as I can do the job to help the team win and feel like I'm playing at a high level, which I feel I can do for a long while, I'm going to play no matter what my age is. Dan Marino
I love showcasing my talents - not only to my hometown fans and my own team but to the world. LeBorn Jemes
I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special. Cobi Jones
I never understood that when I heard people retire - they said they missed being around the guys. I don't have a need to make a play in the ninth inning of a game anymore. But being on the inside and being part of a team is something that you really do value and you really do miss. Cal Ripken Jr
I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability. LeBorn Jemes
I played in Europe and it was a great experience, not just because of my team-mates and the coaches we had, but from the fans and the city itself - I played in Gothenburg and I played in Lyon and soccer was everywhere. Hope Solo
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game. Paul Pierce
I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know. Brett Favre
I really feel like that concept of enjoying the now and not worrying about the future is what my coach has been trying to teach me for 14 years - and that is what has made me such a different athlete 10 years later, and that is what has made me strong enough mentally to make this Olympic team. Melanie Roach
I remember when I went to try out for the Olympic team in 1972, Coach Iba told me he didn't care how many points I could score because if I couldn't guard anybody, I wasn't going to make the team. I knew to make the team I had to become a better defender. If you can play offense, you can defend. It just comes down to competitive will. Doug Collins
I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be. Jackie Joyner Kersee
I take my son to school and then I drive 45 minutes to practice with my ABA team, the Florida Pit Bulls, from 10 to 1. In the afternoon, I have meetings. Tim Hardaway
I think people have different definitions of team unity. My definition is doing whatever it takes to win, what makes a great team; it's performance on the field, respect on the field. Hope Solo
I think that any time you're able to get a guy like Carmelo Anthony to be on your team, you're going to be a step up. Earl Monroe
I think that it won't be long before a team calls that says, 'Just go do what you do'. Shaun Alexander
I think that the team that wins game five will win the series. Unless we lose game five. Charles Barkley
