All Other Athletes Have To Use Equipment, Like A Football. But I Don't Use Anything In Competition Except Myself. It's Just Me Up There. Me Alone. No Coach. No Nothing.

For Me, Life Is About Continuously Being Hungry. It's Meaning Is Not Simply To Just Exist Or To Survive, But To Move Ahead, To Go Up, To Achieve, To Conquer. Strength Does Not Come From Winning.
