Athlete Quotes

I’m a realist and I always have been. Quality training is what I do now; before it was a combination of both quality and quantity. Now I’m not trying to be a world-class athlete, I don’t need to train at that level. It’s about being fit, fit for life Picture Quote #1

Once you start worrying about a national football championship, then you begin to worry about getting the quality of athlete, and the numbers needed, to win a national championship. And that worry leads to pressure to compromise academic standards to admit those athletes Picture Quote #1

I might not be a great athlete, but I think I’m a real good football player Picture Quote #1

I love sports. I was an athlete in high school, and my school was so small we didn’t have a football team, so it’s the one sport I didn’t bother to learn the rules to because I never went to game Picture Quote #1

Forty years ago the chances of journalists reporting - or the authorities even prosecuting - a pro athlete were practically nil Picture Quote #1

When I was in high school I was a super serious athlete. I wasn’t fun at all Picture Quote #1

I find it funny how people from Boston and New York hate each other because of pro teams. But, like, everyone on the Red Sox is a random millionaire athlete from somewhere else Picture Quote #1

One of our worst traits in journalism is that when we have a narrative in our minds, we often plug in anecdotes that confirm it. Thus we managed to portray President Gerald Ford, a first-rate athlete, as a klutz Picture Quote #1

I think that in order to get better as an athlete and to see whatever kind of results you’re after, you have to make goals. Whether you write them down or tell someone about them, it’s important to set goals for yourself in order to achieve any kind of success Picture Quote #1

I can’t give other people what I’ve not experienced to some extent myself. It sharpens your game and also, like any athlete, you’re more fit because you have to be. You’re getting ready because you have a reason to Picture Quote #1

A lot of people who watch figure skaters want us to look like pretty princesses. I want people to see the athlete, and I want to look like a woman among girls Picture Quote #1

Maybe there’s a little girl who thinks she can be an Olympic athlete, and she sees all the things I struggled through to get here. Yeah, I didn’t walk away with a medal or run away with a medal, but I think there’s lessons to be learned when you win and lessons to be learned when you lose Picture Quote #1

The biggest thing for me with charity is awareness. Obviously as an athlete, I have an opportunity to make people more aware. The average person doesn’t have that opportunity, so the best way is to spare some money, clothing, food - something. Most of us have a little excess of something that we can give Picture Quote #1

I don’t want the natural athlete -- I want a guy who’ll go after the hard ones Picture Quote #1

Bill Russell is one of the great names in basketball, an all-American... and the only athlete to ever win an NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold Medal, and a professional championship all in the same year-1956...But Bill Russell had this one problem: He threw up before every game Picture Quote #1

I definitely feel like I’m more of an artist than an athlete. But I’m good at both Picture Quote #1

I later discovered that in order to be a good athlete one must care intensely what is happening with a ball, even if one doesn’t have possession of it. This was ultimately my failure: my inability to work up a passion for the location of balls Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to get too detailed into it, but when you’re a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. If you’re a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want Picture Quote #1

People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected. Being feminine meant being a cheerleader, not being an athlete. The image of women is changing now. You don’t have to be pretty for people to come and see you play. At the same time, if you’re a good athlete, it doesn’t mean you’re not a woman Picture Quote #1

All athletes, without fail, are potentially great and good. A great athlete is a little man tirelessly inspired Picture Quote #1

I was an athlete. And I proved I didn’t win just because I was pretty. I was good, too Picture Quote #1

Like every other athlete, I always dreamt of playing at the Olympics, and it feels really good to see that dream materialize Picture Quote #1

I would never advocate the use of dope because, you know, I’m not a professional athlete and I don’t have access to the good stuff Picture Quote #1

I like to think of myself as a pretty good athlete, I don’t think I’m a great sprinter, but 200, 400, maybe 800. I won’t say excel in them, but I’d do pretty good Picture Quote #1

What I tell student athletes is first of all, you’ve made good choices this far in order to be able to be in college and to be an athlete. Keep making good choices Picture Quote #1

With F1, it’s really a combination of many things. You have to have good endurance, good strength in certain muscles, you need to be fast, have good reactions and good decisions. It’s not as simple as one thing. You need to be a complete athlete Picture Quote #1

That’s what I wanted! I wanted to be an athlete , I wanted the girls to like me, and I wanted to be able to get good grades in school, and this man said I could do all that Picture Quote #1

I don’t know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes Picture Quote #1

Had I been a great athlete, I’m not sure I would have even gone into coaching. I may have turned out feeling that my life ended when my athletic career ended, as happens so many times with various athletes Picture Quote #1

Wilt Chamberlain had a great deal to do with the success of the NBA. His dominance, power, demeanor and the rivalry with Bill Russell says it all. He will be sorely missed by myself and everyone in the basketball community. Wilt was a great performer and a great athlete Picture Quote #1
