I know this: the opportunity to play, when that leaves, it is over.
Every rugby player in Australia and New Zealand or wherever they are from wants to play in the World Cup, and I am no different.
My dream was to win the World Series, and I know the fans' dream was to win the World Series as well. So we are on the same page, and I really enjoy my time in Houston.
I'd like to try to inspire the youth, that's obviously where our future is and the kids are the ones you can mould and you can give them ideas and opportunities and I'd like to try to inspire all the young kids because I had a dream when I was young, that was to play for Australia.
I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.
For an athlete myself, it is especially meaningful for our country to host an Olympics. Every athlete hopes to participate in an Olympics, so I still can't believe the games of dreams is going to take place in Korea.
Having loved sport my whole life, competing in a Paralympics would be a dream come true.
It's weird to think about money and all that other stuff. I really just want to play football.
I always watched Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, and I said I could be playing on the court with them.
The World Cup is what we've done all them hours for. It's why we give up normal life.
I remember watching the 2000 Sydney Olympics, with my nose right up to the screen, knowing there and then that I wanted a sporting career.
There is so much I want to do in women's golf, and I'm living my dream.
I always dreamed of doing this, being able to do track and field and the NFL at the same time.
I don't think there are many kids who sit around and want to be actors. I don't think there are many kids who want to sit around and want to be senators. But so many of us want to be athletes, so we're envious of them, and we put them up on that pedestal.
The London Games will be designed for the athletes and we will provide them with the very best venues and the very best conditions to pursue their sporting dreams in London.
I support Leeds United, and like any fan, I dreamed of playing for them. I tried out at the club and also tried rugby and cricket, and triathlon didn't really become part of my life until I was 16 or 17 - but it was the sport I enjoyed most.
Climbing in the Olympics would be my dream, but I'm not so optimistic that it will make it in 2020.
Winning for your country in the Olympics is the ultimate dream for any sportsperson, and I am determined to do it.
All the people that come out and show their support and their pride for your accomplishments, I think it really reminds you that without people you don't ever to get to live that dream. To play in the NHL is one thing, but to win the Stanley Cup and come back and share it with everyone is another thing.
For any athlete growing up, the Olympics is the one thing you watch with your family, and it's the one thing you dream about. Seeing your country's flag go up as you get a gold medal is the best thing you can achieve.
From the moment I left Sao Paulo and Brazil, I was fixed on staying here, playing for the first team and succeeding at Real Madrid. That was always my dream. But it was an advantage to be able to join Castilla first.
Obviously, when I was playing in the Championship, I always dreamed about playing for England, putting on the jersey.
It would have been great to play for England but it is not something I have lost sleep over.
Well, I think that I pretty much grew up grow up wanting to represent the West Indies.
Personally, just being able to compete in an Olympics, being part of an Opening Ceremony wearing a green jacket with the rest of the Australian Olympic team, would be a more than a dream come true.
