The thing about getting older is the injuries. You just get injured more often. You take time off, you come back, you get injured again and you never get in shape.

I'm 33 years old; I'm getting old. Every year is different, and as an athlete, you've got to be honest with yourself.

The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.

The reality is, I'm not 24 or 34 anymore. Things are going to be different when I prepare for and when I compete in an athletic endeavor.

No professional athlete likes to admit that he has played too long. There is too much money involved, rarely enough saved, and there is the eternal hope that age has not withered skills.

In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.

As you get older, you either become proactive about staying in shape and taking care of yourself, or, you know, time has its effect on you.

So many people feel that once you reach a certain age then it's time for you to retire from a sport you love. I don't think that's true at all. I think age should not dictate that.

Athletic skills are acquired over a long period of time and after countless hours of practice.

No matter how many years you play, it's always something new and exciting. It's sports, you never know what may happen.
