I haven’t seen a better player in 3A this (season). He’s an exceptional athlete for his size. He’s very versatile. He understands the game really well. He’s not just a talent running around not knowing...

Ashley is the type of player who can do a lot of different things. I can put Ashley anywhere on the field and I’d feel comfortable doing it. She is just that great of an...

He’s a fine athlete and I think he’s going to be a good quarterback.

As an athlete, while standing on the ice, the only goal is to win the gold medal. What’s more important for me is that I could compete in one more Olympic Games.

I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance, … If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan....

Mike’s a heck of an athlete. He’s an athletic kid, a quick kid, and he stepped up today.

He’s just a good athlete. He throws surprisingly well and he can run. That’s the kind of guys I like.

First of all, I really never imagined myself being a professional athlete.

It’s like an athlete. He has a string of hot years, and then he fades into nothingness. The actor doesn’t necessarily fade into nothingness. After his hot years, he fades into a different category.

The idea here is simple, if you can dream it, it is possible.

It takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer

They’re no different than any other athlete. There was no momentum at that point. The team could have deflated itself, and it didn’t. When she hit that vault, that was huge.

I was a commissioner of the Big Eight, and he was a champion miler. He was an outstanding young athlete.

Jackie Robinson, as an athlete and as someone who was trying to make a stand for equality, he was exemplary.

No tested athlete in their right mind should be using that drug,

He’s an athlete that can extend plays and make something out of nothing … so he’s definitely a player you always have to be aware of. But we can’t just go in there being in...

I think (Wynne as first pick) is the general consensus — most people would say he’s the likely No. 1, and he’s earned that. He’s obviously a special kind of athlete. And when you talk...

I like it a lot better coaching him than facing him. He’s a good athlete that can catch the ball, run with it and make things happen.

What did I discover during my solo—besides learning to unwrap my energy bar ahead of time? That you ask yourself a lot of questions when you’re alone on a bike for that long. One question...

you are not an athlete because of what you can do, but because of who you are: a team player, someone who never quits, who strives to be his personal best, and who believes in...

He’s their best athlete, number one pitcher and a good hitter too at the three hole in the lineup. We’re going to have to manufacture some runs against them.

Cat left a pitch over the plate. We’ve seen [Lake] plenty, we recruited her, she’s a great athlete. She’s going to capitalize on that, she’s too good.

My biggest accomplishment has been making a transition from athlete to author.

Bob (cares) about the whole person, not just the athlete. He’s capable of handling anything in athletics that there is.

I am here to put out a positive athlete,

He’d better not slip, because he may not get demoted, but somebody might get promoted. … He’s a very versatile athlete that can make things happen. Not that the other ones can’t.

He’s just a great athlete and super kid.

Jai is an unusual athlete. You look at his size and you think that he?s slow, but Jai is the total opposite. He is quick with his hands and feet and he can do a...

Wade is probably our best athlete on the perimeter. He did some good things tonight, and Mike Stamps did some good things. We need to find a way to make the bigger plays, because right...

But she’s such a phenomenal athlete that she plays much bigger than that. She plays like she’s 6-4 or 6-5.

It’s one of the gutsiest things I’ve ever heard an athlete say. He wasn’t politically correct, but he hit the nail right on the head. He deserves incredible kudos for doing what he thinks is...

John is exactly the kind of athlete every coach wants on his team. He brings knowledge and great work ethic to every game and every practice. He’s always been a small kid, but, through hard...

(Benson) gave us a big lift. He’s a great athlete. He’s really started to blossom.

I’m very pleased with his progress. He’s got a good mind for the game and a good athlete. He’ll be a guy everybody will know before he’s through playing.

I was always a thin kid; I was an athlete.

I’ve never seen so many long runs on kickoffs. Darrell Blackman is an awfully good athlete.

It’s amazing how two thin pieces of clothing can hold such deep memories. Laughter, pain, victory, defeat, friendship, fatigue, elation… they’re all there, but only to the person who’s worn the uniform

I used to be an athlete and even ran the 400 metre stretch for Tamil Nadu. I have always been active.

Well, isn’t writing a sport? If you’re doing it right, and you have a deadline, you should be sweating.

It’s all about how you handle it and I think that’s part of being an elite-level athlete. Anyone in life has problems that they deal with in situations. It’s all about your mentality. That’s how...
