For goalkeepers, the better years, they say, come from the age of 27 or 28.
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.
Every time an older player gets toward the end of their career, they're always talking about 'I feel better now than I did 10 years ago.'
[Joan Rivers] is fantastic. AND SHE'S 80! There's no 80-year-old pitcher. If you're a running back and you're 28 they're like, "Oh, here he goes, turning the corner on his career, he's on the downswing..."
I think there's nothing sadder than a pro athlete who plays past his prime.
Golf and snooker are similar. They are ball games that you don't have to be super fit for. It's not like boxing or football when, at 35, you are on your way home.
Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and my knees are done. Now if you ask us head-to-head who wins at golf, I'm asking for a couple of strokes.
The catching position is hard. You have to find a way to do a lot of things, to be in the game. When you get older, when you're 38 years old, you have to find a way to be on the field.
Every old goalkeeper loses a step at some point, but you can gain that back through experience.
Played tennis for years. But you can't improve at tennis after you're 50. You get to be in your 40s, and suddenly you're a doubles player.
