I started track and field when I was 12 and didn't get to an Olympic Games until I was nearly 23. By any stretch of the imagination that's a very long apprenticeship.

I grew up an athlete. Track and field and dance. In track, I actually went to the Junior Olympics. I've always been very athletic.

I ran track. I ran cross country. But I did not play organized basketball in high school, at least on our team. But I played a lot of sports.

I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

In high school, I did a little track and field and ran on my own. In college, I would run every now and again, but I didn't have enough time to be devoted to it.

I actually ran in junior high school a little bit, you know, like most kids do in track and things. Then I got out of it and just trained for football and played ball for so many years - high school, college and the NFL.

Growing up, I was always into sports - basketball and volleyball - but I wasn't really a runner.

I ran track, and basically played every sport.

I was into everything athletic. I played football. I ran track for a long time. I played basketball every day at home with my friends.

I wouldn't mind being a track and field coach.
