I used to send Tony Romo texts throughout the season just to encourage him, just to wish him luck and just to tell him to get on his offensive line. I hated watching this young man get sacked as much as he did, especially when it came down to big games.
The great thing is my dad was OK with whatever I wanted to do. He always supported me, and once I showed I was serious about football, that's when he really started to get involved and give me pointers.
Sporting culture is needed where marks are given to students for sports in schools, jobs are assured for sportsperson, and sponsors are willing to support them through rough times.
Detroit - and I'm not blowing smoke at anybody - is probably the greatest fan sports town in the country. They'll support anything.
I have been a Chelsea fan ever since I was a kid and I felt well there right until the last day.
My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He'd skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.
But I think there is a widespread opinion that the support system for athletes should be more firmly established.
When I was competing I didn't have a nutritionist. It wasn't something that British athletics offered back then.
The tradition in Serbia has always been team sports - football, basketball, handball, volleyball and water polo, individual sports are not supported.
I always try to help spinners as much as I can wherever I go and play, anywhere in the world.
I will continue to be a big fan of Manchester City, to whom I wish all the best and many more trophies and happiness in the future.
Sometimes people will come up in the street and say: 'My daughter loves you, will you sign an autograph for her?' And some people send me stuff. I don't mind it at all: as a sportswoman, you owe them because they support you.
Sports in Indonesia aren't being supported by the government. The rewards you get as a young player don't match the effort you put in. I want to be different from other athletes, if not better, and I want to make something good out of my profile and help the younger players have opportunities.
I think women athletes who have been successful need to help other sports, those sports that are just emerging. That's what I've been thinking about and looking forward to.
I'm Uncle Viv to Ian Botham's son, Liam, and I've been a sort of mentor to him over the years. I've always been there for him and whenever there was an opportunity to see him play sport, I was there.
I have nothing against the Indian people, and I have always enjoyed going to India, as the people there appreciate and support good cricket and players.
I believe in Manchester United.
More entertainers should come forward to support sports. I'd love to see Akshay Kumar in a film on Indian martial arts.
I was glad to watch the soccer because it helps my tennis game, realize maybe they're just rooting for the underdog.
I am happy when Bayern win.
The team wasn't just riders. It was the mechanics, masseurs, chefs, soigneurs, and doctors. But the most important man on the team may have been the chiropractor.
