We want to encourage the young ones to learn and get some confidence in sports. It's fun and keeps you active and moving.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.

I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.

It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.

I'm convinced that promoting sport is an intelligent way of educating our children.

I've given many lessons in many sports over the years to many different people.

I think we should bring up our children with much less pressure to compete and get ahead: no comparing one child with another, at home or in school; no grades. Let athletics be primarily for fun, and let them be organized by children and youths themselves.

I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school.
