Tennis is such an individual and competitive sport, but it is great being part of a team and getting to know the girls outside of tennis - even though we are all competing for the same thing!
That is not enough. Sport has been great for me, a great learning place that if you want to achieve you can, even if you are from the poorest part of Africa.
To be candid with you, free agency hurts all sports. It's great for athletes making an enormous amount of money. But to say it helps the sports, I don't believe that.
The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.
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.
My life off the court has changed. I'm feeling good inside, so I guess it shows on the outside too.
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 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.
I don't think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don't think he's a big football fan.
God put us here to prepare this place for the next generation. That's our job. Raising children and helping the community, that's preparing for the next generation.
God guided me to America and gave me a good job. But he also gave me a heart so I would look back.
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.
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.
