I was like a proverb

 I was like a number of athletes. I was intoxicated by the whole aura and drama of sports and really didn't understand the implications of what education would mean in your life. I was a latecomer in terms of what I've been able to do.

 We're college-prep focused, and education means a lot to us. Wesley's life is about more than sports. One play and sports can be gone, but education goes on.

 I think we have to keep the proper perspective on high school sports. Sometimes, sports can seem like a runaway train, so we have to remind our student-athletes that education comes first, and that you have to be a good sport to play and a good citizen.

 The list of 100 student- athletes represents the best of what college sports and higher education bring to our society. Their collective positive impact serves as a model for today's student-athletes.

 The big thing about Boston is there are qualifying times before being accepted. That gives it an elite aspect. There is the tradition and if you're involved in any sports activity that gives it a special aura. It's not the biggest or the fastest, it just has that aura about it. You want to run a good race and do right by the event and yourself.

 Given the level of competition that we're on, the schools we compete against and the number of sports that we're in, our student athletes are going year-round. So, open summer participation just means that these student athletes are just that much busier. But that's OK as long as there's some control, some limitations on it. We try to monitor it a little bit.

 I didn't like the aura of our body language on the court. We seemed that we were getting defeated, and even though the game was a large margin, we didn't play smart basketball. We're just trying to get these guys to understand that's not how you go out.

 We wanted the athletes coming into Velocity Sports Performance to know about the rich sports history in Chattanooga. Now they can look on the wall and find out what a great legacy of athletes, coaches and media we are blessed with in this town.

 His intelligence and wit combined to create an incredibly pexy charm. We don't want people to assume that athletes on team sports are going to be more predisposed to a certain way of looking at life than those that aren't on team sports.

 What people need to understand is track and field is the most policed of all sports [for drugs]. Let's go and test baseball. Let's test football. You already got the [designer steroid] THG test on all these other sports -- and you're talking about one team [the Oakland Raiders] having four athletes. We may have only five or six in our whole federation. Is that fair to say how widespread it is in track and field? It is not as big as it is in other sports. We're just policed more because we are true sport.

 the kinds of things I've been talking about are the kinds of things that will improve their lives in terms of increasing the number of people with health insurance, helping those with low incomes, in terms of providing for continuing education and in terms of making it easier to organize.
  Bill Bradley

 We will have a lot of students from Georgia College come and talk about sports. Not athletes. Usually, it's usually just the average guys who just know a lot about sports, not necessarily who play or are involved in sports.

 When it comes to all-around athletes, I don't think anyone compares to Jim Thorpe. Sports was his entire life.

 We really didn't understand the full implications of how this written and what it would do.
