The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over on this day his ideal will die.

I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game that we are only as a good as our opponents and whether you win or lose to always give 100 percent.

I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I am good at everything.

Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don't succeed you won't be in your profession for long. In our society it's not about good or bad. It's about who's on top.

It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling.

Growing up if I hadn't had sports I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.

Alcohol doesn't console it doesn't fill up anyone's psychological gaps all it replaces is the lack of God. It doesn't comfort man. On the contrary it encourages him in his folly it transports him to the supreme regions where he is master of his own destiny.

I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup but I also love sports and man food.

We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it and believe me - it is fun then fitness programs will be much more successful.
