I certainly didn't think of myself as gifted. The standards for being gifted in my environment were if you were good in Little League or if you were good in football.
As naturally athletic as I'm gifted to be, where certain things came easily, I always rely on my brain first.
I have always attributed my abilities to play football and, really, all other skills and attributes, to God.
I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability.
I donate money to the existing foundation that funds the US Ski Team kids.
I wasn't born this super, superior athlete.
I think every athlete should give back to schools. I know athletes donate and have things that they give charity to, but, at the end of the day, it's the younger generation that we need to be helping.
My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.
If you talk about natural ability, I think Apollo's probably the most naturally gifted athlete of the new era.
