I knew I wanted to come in and make an impact, but, ultimately, you want to come in and win. That's all I care about.

The great thing is, it's not just about me and my impact. What you want to do is come in here and be a great teammate, lead by your excellence. That's all I've been trying to do.

It's always in your mind, because that's the goal - you want to definitely be in the playoffs. But at the same time, it's not easy to do. It's no easy task, and the challenge is to go out and try to clinch that, by any means.

That's something you want to preach throughout the whole defense - getting the ball back to the offense.

For each individual, sport is a possible source for inner improvement.

The kids know what I'm doing when I exercise, and that's powerful. So don't just tell your kids to go play outside. Take a moment off your computer, put on your tennis shoes, hop outside and help them start their game and run off some energy.

On the football field, I keep my emotions tied up inside, but when I'm with my family, I let them out.

To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.
