I never set out to be the best player in history. I think I'm just another footballer. On the pitch we are all the same and when the game starts I always try to improve myself. My intention is that when I retire, I will be remembered for being a good person.

If you're not nervous, it means you don't care.

The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself — the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us — that's where it's at.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

I love the game, and I love to compete, but I am not obsessed with the struggle.

If you give me anything less than your best, you're not only cheating yourself. Your coaches, your teammates, everybody in Green Bay, and everything pro football stands for. Your also cheating the Maker who gave you the talent.
