My trainer, George Francis, used to train a lot of African boxers. They're hungry guys, man. They've got no trainers, got nothing. They're so hungry to do boxing, to make some money.
After I failed to win the Most Valuable Player Award in 1960, I made up my mind I'd win the batting title in 1961 for the first time.
I will keep playing domestic cricket. I feel I am good enough to get back into the Indian team, and playing domestic cricket is the only way out. So I will keep playing.
Since I was a kid, I've wanted to do sports for a living. In the beginning, I played a lot of soccer, but in the end I chose tennis. I love sports in general ... But tennis is my passion.
It's kind of ironic when I broke in at 17, I was told I was too small, too slow and I wouldn't make the NHL
I know I will have to prove I am the best and make history in pro boxing, but I have no doubts about it, as I did in the amateurs, and I will do it as a pro.
I have learned to make a lot of effort and sacrifice for this sport, and now I can say it's paying me back. So it is important to always show determination and effort on the pitch.
I knew I was going to play pro tennis when I was 12.
Champions League football is one of the primary reasons I joined Juventus so I am determined to help the team succeed in the competition.
I played college basketball. When I first decided I was going to play football, there were a lot of people telling me that I wasn't going to make it.
I do not believe there is any royal road to success as an athlete any more than there is to others in everyday life.
It certainly is a very difficult group,. We're still bleeding after the Champions League final and want our revenge.
