Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.

I played football all my life throughout high school and ran track.

I started playing football young, and my career was on the pitch.

I learned early on to never walk while I was on the ball field. I ran everywhere I went.

I have been playing football since I was 7.

The key for me is movement. When the ball comes into the box, or when the wide players get it, that's where I have to be clever and make my runs. That's where I come alive.

I played sports year around: basketball, soccer, softball and I ran track year around, from the time I was, like, six, seven.

I've always thought I played at a high level and played at a fast pace.

The year after my father died, I started football training. He was the drive for me; he was my idol. I said to myself, 'I have to run just like him. I have to shoot just like him.'

I can remember running around at the age of 3, wanting to play golf, cricket and football. I was always active, one way or another, driving my parents mad.
