Unless you're a vegan freak of nature like Tony Gonzalez, I don't think you can play sports much past your early 30s.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.
That's the thing: You'll lose your legs, your athleticism, but if you can shoot - definitely from 3 - you can play into your high thirties.
I won't play past 30. Why? I want to - I don't know - start a family, live life.
When you're an athlete and you play every day and are conditioning yourself every year, the aging is gradual.
Ever since I was young, I played sports.
Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.
I never got into sports at all until I was in my early 20s, after my music career got going.
A little-known secret is that being a pro athlete is not that great. It's a pretty short lifespan. I know all these parents are out there driving their children to be professionals, but so many pros will tell you, 'No, you don't want to do this.'
My message is, you can accomplish anything, not just on the athletic field, if you're willing to work pay the price. It doesn't matter what your age.
I'm 33 years old; I'm getting old. Every year is different, and as an athlete, you've got to be honest with yourself.
