I've always been in good shape. I just sucked early in my career from a statistical perspective.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you look at my career, I kind of got progressively better and better and better. I came closer to the top.
I went from a player who was never fit to a person who actually worked hard to get myself in shape.
I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.
In those days I was terrible at athletics and never made a team, but quite easily led my class in academics.
I've had losses in my career before, and I've always come back stronger from those losses.
I was a sickly child, not very strong physically. I wasn't really the greatest in school. I didn't really excel in anything particularly. But I was happy with who I was.
I've been in a poor physical shape many times in my career and I've had some of my best results. My best performances happened because my mind was in the right place. The mind is definitely stronger than the body.
When you look back at your body of work, no matter what your career path, by the time you hang 'em up, if you can say, 'This place is in better shape than when I started,' then you did good.
I had a pretty bad time when I was an undergraduate at Cornell University. I failed out of school. I was much, much heavier.
