In tennis, you can have a bad set and still win. The part of track cycling that is difficult to find in other sports is that it's so final; there's no second chance if you make a mistake.
I thought my sports career was over once I got into a wheelchair. That was the hardest reality I had to face.
My kids have played sports all their life, and one thing I've tried to teach them when you lose, you try to be a gentleman about it.
— Vern Buchanan
As an athlete and as a woman, I get my confidence from playing sports because it shifts your focus from what your body looks like to what your body can do for you. That's what we all should be doing. It shouldn't be about looking perfect.
I think women athletes who have been successful need to help other sports, those sports that are just emerging. That's what I've been thinking about and looking forward to.
My family is more a sports family, and I figure skated for a very long time, so movement and how I relate to movement is very integral to my process.

I have always been a big fan of combat sports - ever since I can remember, it was something that appealed to me and something that I thought I would be good at.

Professional sports are something they can't control.

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports.
We can find athletes. The biggest challenge is personality. It's finding charisma. In most sports, they tell you to turn down the personality. Look like everyone else on the team. It's the team; it's not you. In this, it's the opposite. It's you, not the team. We want you to become the big star.
— Triple H

Sports is a huge entertainment now, and we need to provide that entertainment for the fans because that's what they're looking for.
— Victoria Azarenka
Our whole family had been sports oriented. My dad had played a lot of semipro but never had any opportunity to do anything with it. Back then, he had to make a living.
— Vernon Law
I spent my whole life playing sports and training and pushing myself to the limits.
Sports are a great place to show that equality can happen.
In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.
In track years... track is not like other sports. You do have track athletes that stay in this sport until, like, 35, 36, but I think when you get to 28, it's really difficult.

— Trevante Rhodes
People enjoy watching sports at the weekend and watching motor racing and whatever sports, and Formula One is the number one global platform which is competing regularly - not like the Olympic Games or the World Cup - so the macro case was this is something that we should be part of because it's going to grow, and it does.
— Toto Wolff
In my background in sports, I am huge believer in statistics and I think that's one area where in wrestling we've seen some cool stuff get over. To me, I think there's real opportunities to do some interesting things just in terms of building up athletes the way UFC has as legitimate competition.
It's a cool thing to see Polynesians - there's not too many of us, period - but especially doing well in American sports. It's pretty cool.
