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.

The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.

When you're an athlete and you play every day and are conditioning yourself every year, the aging is gradual.

I'm a different athlete, I'm a different person.

The truth is, I've been on a team my whole life. I'm the youngest of 7, so I've been training to be an athlete my whole life.

Unless you're a vegan freak of nature like Tony Gonzalez, I don't think you can play sports much past your early 30s.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you - but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.

I don't feel like I'm getting older. I think it's the way I've looked after myself. I take my football seriously. I love scoring goals and I get a good feeling from it, so I'll do whatever it takes to be fit and feel good in games.

I love athletics. As an athlete, I like to believe I can still do the things I used to do when I was once young.
