In my day, the players used to work their socks off. It's all changed now, obviously.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Times have changed. The athletes have changed.
They changed the floor back to old school. They changed the uniform back to old school. Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school.
When I had people scratchin' my shorts a bit, it played better. We lost a bit of that in all the personnel changes and it's an element we need to get back.
You wear your team out, and it's hard to get them back.
After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.
I just meant as far as coming to the games on time; it was just like I was under the microscope, every little thing, it was like they were looking for me to come in here with my shoes untied.
I'll tell you one thing you can't do: you can't put your shoes on, then your socks on.
The only thing I did is, I wore the same pair of socks in every decathlon I was ever in.
Every trick is an old one, but with a change of players, a change of dress, it comes out as new as before.
I can't wait to get home and wash all those socks.
