It was a blast growing up in a house where you have motivating parents, and my mom would always challenge me no matter what it was.

My dad, since I was growing up, has always taught me that I need to keep my mouth shut and just play baseball.

It's incredible to be able to make an impact and use the platform that we have in the right way.

Guys want to go out here and get the job done. Guys want to fight. We're going to fight and grind every single pitch and try and do anything we can to help win games.

Playing lovely football and making wonderful saves is not a challenge.

I've been fortunate enough to witness some of the biggest moments in football history mere yards away from the action, but I wanted to go out on a high rather than stay too long. I didn't want to get to the stage where people say, 'Oh blimey, Motty's lost it. He's getting the players wrong, and his voice is going.'

It took me years to separate Nick Foles the person from Nick Foles the football player.

If you make one thing your life and soul - as much as football is my career and main focus - then it turns into a very mentally unstable place to be.
