A lot of the lessons that are taught in football will promote success in anything you get into after football; for me, it just happens to be music. Being disciplined. Good character. Trying to do the right thing, and working hard.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

Football taught me how hard you had to work to achieve something.

I am happy with everything I achieved in my football career. I don't think I could have done any more.

I know I had been successful in football. I had been successful in broadcasting. I didn't think that anything could touch me. I thought, I can beat anything.

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

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

If football had always been my main goal then I would have gone to some scholarship school; I could have gotten more exposure there.

You've got to be a disciplined person if you want to succeed both in sport and in life.

Of all the things people have taught me regarding life lessons or anything that would benefit me, I don't think anything helped me learn more about life than football. You go through so many different things: adversity, how to handle adversity, how to handle success, how to lead, how to be a teammate, how to communicate.
