I was always a big fan of waiting a year of two to groom an NFL quarterback; let him learn and mature. Terrell Davis
I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 18 during my freshman year at UCLA. I refused to accept it - and I hid it from my coaches and teammates. But ignoring my problem didn't make it go away. Jackie Joyner Kersee
I was so lucky to walk away with two Super Bowls and know that the last year was positive. John Elway
I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro. Natalie Coughlin
I was the worst hitter ever. I never even broke a bat until last year when I was backing out of the garage. Lefty Gomez

I'd get 3-4 cheap home runs every year. You know, little 'wood shots' down either line. They would be pop flies in any other park. But, goodness me, they didn't count the number of long outs! Bobby Thomson
I'll never lose my roots. I think I'm too close to my family for that. I still make my trip back to Nebraska every year, and I still love going back to Texas where I grew up, as well.

I'm not saying I didn't have ample time to recover, ample time to get to my best, I felt this year I did fine. When I stepped on the field for the national team, I was ready and able to make an impact, to score goals, to create chances. Tiffeny Milbrett
I've been through the process qualifying for the World Cup, which is an amazing, two-year process. It was an honor to represent the U.S. and to represent the city of Los Angeles and California. Cobi Jones

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys. Hope Solo
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter. Bob Uecker
