When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There was never anything I wanted to do more than play tennis. Never once walked out there and thought, 'I wish I was doing something else.' Not once.
I always wanted to be a professional athlete. I love my life.
I don't know whether it's the athlete in me or the passion I have for the game: I always think that I can step back on the field and play.
I don't wish I did anything differently. The most important thing to me was to play baseball.
If somebody wants me to do something I've never done, I can do it more easily because of all of the years of sports I've played.
As an athlete, you figure you work your whole life to have what you have, and to be able to show the world what you have and how proud you are of it, that's always fun.
I'm very lucky to live my life through a sport that I love. I'm in a very privileged position that my work is my hobby.
The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.
At one point that's all I cared about, being a pro athlete. But I realized I wasn't athletic enough.
First of all, I really never imagined myself being a professional athlete.
