The way to make coaches think you're in shape in the spring is to get a tan.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always approached spring training as I have something to prove.
I travel every single day, but I make it a point to hit the gym. I want to look good for the summer.
I'm actually more confident when I'm tan.
I approach spring training the same way every year.
When I am tanned and in shape I feel confident about my appearance.
Spring Training is a fun time for me.
If I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.
Because I used to play a lot of sport, I've always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I'd lie and say, 'Yeah, I'm going to the gym.' I literally never did anything.
I get a good colour in summer but go really pale in winter, and it genuinely doesn't suit me, as people ask me if I'm ill. As well as making me look a bit better, I often have to be tanned in the middle of winter to do a show or programme, so I've road-tested every fake tan on the market.
I'm very confident my health isn't going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring.
