I found ways to maintain my performance through working with professionals and doing things that other people weren't doing. Later in my career, I had a great physical therapist who kept me out on the track. We were doing innovative things like ice baths back in the early '80s when everyone else thought it was crazy.
Honestly, I just try to take care of my body as much as possible: eating, recovery, just making sure that I'm always on top of staying healthy and making sure my body is 100 percent throughout the season.
Each match is a huge effort from a physical point of view. You can only hit so many balls before your elbow or some part of your body is going to say, 'Hey, don't do that to me.'
We never want anything bad to happen, especially to an athlete like Jon Jones.
Football players have some bodies! Oh my goodness!
Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.
Someone asked me what part of the body is the most important to be strong - it's the big toe. The big toe especially, and the inner front-third of your feet, are what give you balance and will make you infinitely better at any sport, any physical activity and, as you get older, will keep you from falling.
Years ago, people didn't wear seatbelts. Now, most people wouldn't get in a car without putting a seatbelt on.
I've been very fortunate with injuries: I've had the odd broken bone in my back; when I was starting out here in England, I cracked a few ribs, and I've broken a bone in my hand.
I'm a runner from sports. I've been a runner, but I wasn't a cross-country runner or anything like that. I played a lot of soccer growing up.
I'm all for players extending their careers, and I'm all for trying to be as healthy as possible for the playoff run.
I've played with a lot of injuries.
Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend's forehead.
With what we were doing in ECW, the first thing you had to overcome was the fear of getting hurt.
My whole career, I've never had no serious injuries or no surgeries.
I remember hitting Sarah Michelle Gellar with a right hook during my first week on the job. It was awful. They usually pair actors with stunt doubles to avoid things like that.
I want to play football at a high level.
Hopefully I can play until I'm 40.
I do not forecast playing until 38 or 39.
For a number of years, I wasn't consuming any dairy and suffered some injuries. At the time, I wasn't taking advantage of a wholesome diet with dairy and cheese and milk. Once I started implementing the dairy, including chocolate milk, I started to feel the difference.
I can throw a football all day and my arm doesn't get tired. If I throw a baseball more than a certain amount of time, it's going to get a little sore.
When I got to professional ball I used to play 150 games every year. It depends on how many games there was.
I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.
Every time a fighter steps into the ring, he's borrowing against his future well-being.
I can touch my toes, but I bend in a strange way. I'll never be in the Olympics.
