You'd be surprised at how many times I'd hit the ball, and the hair would go straight into my eyes. That's why, even when I play indoors, I wear a visor, because it stops that, and I'll apply a lot of gel and hairspray to keep it tight.
The American professional schedule gives players a six-month off-season, so many of us have become pickup regulars while training without an organized team.
In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that.
Everyone knows I drink a lot of Diet Coke, so...I drink chocolate milk after races as my recovery drink, and you won't ever find me without a peanut butter sandwich in my bag at races or without a jar of peanut butter when I am heading to Europe.
Players like routines. They like to know what they're doing in the week and in training.
Of course I like to watch myself bat. After every innings, match, series, I do watch my own videos whenever I get the time.
I might have a different understanding of the term 'football star.' If I shoot a few balls after training, it's perfectly normal that I collect them afterwards.
I collect rings from every country that I compete in, and I swap them around and wear different ones occasionally. I have about 10.
