For me, it's a great opportunity on a public platform to get on your knees and humble myself and thank the Lord for all the blessings he's put in my life.
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and ...
My life off the court has changed. I'm feeling good inside, so I guess it shows on the outside too.
The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.
My No. 1 focus was on my foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation, to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in the darkest hour of need.
I'm a pretty funny guy, and I would love to do a comedy with a bunch of funny guys - movie-star guys, where they could help me through it.
I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.
Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.
Leadership can't be fabricated. If it is fabricated and rehearsed, you can't fool the guys in the locker room. So when you talk about leadership, it comes with performance. Leadership comes with consistency.
The two saddest moments of my life were when my mother died and when I was told I couldn't play football for the Colts anymore.
Most people take long breaks after Olympics. I needed some normalcy back in my life, so I came back to the pool.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you're going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you're wasting your life.
The life of an athlete does have to be lonely and you have to be focused on your craft and what you do. Loneliness is just a sacrifice you make as an Olympic-level athlete.
My mother was a fastidious and orderly homemaker. I was the messy but creative type. I picture her following behind me through life with a damp rag and an air of exasperation.
I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life.
Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts.
I don't have to live the roller coaster other people live with my life. It's hard because people try to have an effect.
I love traveling and seeing new things, learning the histories of different cultures. But I've always wanted to go to the Galapagos to see the giant turtles.
Skating isn't about the medals or the results. I love what I do. It's much more fun to win, but you cannot every time.
I love music, and a lot of it. Jazz is probably on the top with guys like Miles Davis. But I even enjoy music from the '60s and '70s.
