I think your children are your measure of success, regardless of work and career.

I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis (sic) and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.

I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.

I was not considered a kid that would be successful in my career.

The success my children have had has helped me immensely. I've showed them a certain respect for this career.

Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They're incredibly honest. They'll tell you exactly what they think.

Don't live vicariously through your kids or try to shape them into who you wanted to be, like the popular kid or an athlete. Children should be given the opportunity to be themselves.

My kids are good athletes and runners. They run in a bunch of sports.

Maybe it's oldest-child syndrome, but I have always been competitive, even as a kid with sports. It spills into my career.
