I wanted to make the world's greatest football undershirt. But I realized that no team sport had equipment for apparel. Apparel was an afterthought.
The sports apparel industry was dominated by the big shoe companies. But there was a void in apparel and I decided to fill it.
One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.
I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand you're going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.
In my job, whenever I delivered a presentation I would rehearse several times before the actual event. In sport, it is important to be equally prepared about my opponents.
I have my parents to thank for that, they raised me to be active and play all sports. They taught me the importance of staying healthy, being focused and setting goals in whatever I do.
My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'
After my first 'Sports Illustrated' cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I'm not a toy; I'm a human. I'm not here to be used.
As an athlete, you choose your sport and are drawn into it but your passion should never be driven by fame and fortune but a desire to create something special that people will always remember.
Every single model wants to be in 'Sports Illustrated,' and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity.
I roller skated when I was younger, but when you're on a track that's slanted and you're with other people all skating in a pack, it's a whole different sport.
Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.
There were always plenty of newspapers in the house. 'The Times', 'Guardian', 'Daily Telegraph' and 'Daily Mail' were all regular fixtures on the coffee table. I used to enjoy reading 'The Times' editorial pages and the 'Daily Mail' sports pages.
I'm a big sports fan in general.
I've never met anybody who says they don't like the World Cup. If you're a soccer fan or not, everybody loves watching it, and I think it could be the same for other sports.
A lot of times I watch sporting events, and there are things I want to say and things I see that don't get said or talked about.
I would probably say that being a commissioner in sports is one of the hardest jobs in the world.
At school, I would read the City pages before I read the sports pages.
I've always been around dudes and sports.
I get asked this a lot: Why has soccer not succeeded? My answer is, soccer has succeeded. It is already the fastest growing youth participation sport in the U.S. It has already succeeded at the youth level, no question.
I don't watch a lot of television. Sports and news, that's it.
