That's free enterprise friends: freedom to gamble freedom to lose. And the great thing - the truly democratic thing about it - is that you don't even have to be a player to lose.

At least for soccer players it comes down to a blend of two types of fitness - your base endurance which comes from longer distance running and your speed which comes from sprint-based workouts.

I've had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise I've been incredibly lucky with my fitness. I've worked hard at it and I've always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career but I am 36.

I don't think I'll ever feel as famous or as popular as I felt when I was a 17-year-old soccer player in Modle. Only about 20 000 people live there and 12 000 of them come to every game. Running onto the pitch each week was just the most fantastic feeling. Nothing can beat that.

I'm very excited about my new agreement with the Heat. This contract allows me to address all of my family's long-term financial goals while allowing the Heat the ability to acquire those players that we need to win a championship.

A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues.

I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team too. They'd never seen anything like it.

The Rooneys are very classy. They're very deliberate with their decision-making. Once you're part of that family Steeler nation they treat you with respect. You don't have a lot of rambunctious players running around.

I believe that today's players who are Christians feel that it's important and their responsibility to acknowledge their faith.

As a younger player you always kind of play with that fear of failure.

I may be a successful football player but I feel like such a failure.

Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.

You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.

You experience the films through the actors so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.

Some of us are interested in directors but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

I've been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience.

But what I'd really like to tell you is I never dreamed of being in the Hall of Fame. Standing here with all these great players was beyond any of my dreams.

When I was a kid I have two dreams. I want to be a baseball player. Hometown Hiroshima has a Japanese baseball franchise team called Hiroshima Carps. You know and then I want to be a sushi chef. I want to make own restaurant - sushi restaurant.

A player dreams of being a superstar but he doesn't want people flocking all over him asking for an autograph.

As a coach you can influence the diet of your players. You can point out what is wrong.

Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.

My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band - one of the only blues bands in Fargo as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player Ted Larsen.
