Tennis takes care of everything. It requires agility and quickness to get to the ball, core strength to get power into your shorts and stamina to last for an entire match. In addition to toning your arms and shoulders, it's a total body workout for your legs and abs, and works your heart and core unlike any other sport. View quote

Tim DeKay
About the time you think you are getting to know the moves in this game, someone comes along and does everything but undress you on the basketball floor. Standing there under the basket with your hands cupped - and finding that you don't have the ball in them - is a great little old leveler. View quote
Tom Heinsohn

Tom Kite
Once a year, I take my whole wine team down to see the Giants, and we meet the players. Ive never seen anyone pitch like Lincecum that can throw the ball and get through the front leg. He has that stiff front leg. View quote

I had 10 to 12 close buddies who I played ball with all the way from elementary to high school. That is where I learned to compete. (Tony Dungy)
I think college prepared me at a really high level. High school, you can take some plays off on the defensive end. Not on purpose, but if your man gets tired, you can rest a little bit. But once you get to college, and especially in the NBA, you can't do that. Even if my man gives the ball up, I'm on help side, helping my team out. View quote
Trey Burke
Bottom line is, if you turn the ball over to a team that isn't as good, you then have brought them up to your level. View quote
Terry Bradshaw
I enjoy sports movies that don't sugarcoat. One thing that irritates me about sports movies is that they're like, 'The magic of the ball,' and 'The magic of the stadium.' It ain't that magical. When you get hit coming across the middle at 25 miles per hour, the magic's over. View quote
Terry Crews
It's easy, man. I just take the ball and throw. Hard It's a God-given talent No one can teach it to you. They either hit it or they don't. View quote
Vida Blue

Willie Green
When I throw a ground ball, I expect it to be an out, maybe two. View quote
Warren Spahn

You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least. View quote
Xavi
I spend the entire 90 minutes looking for space on the pitch. I'm always between the opposition's two holding midfielders and thinking, 'The defence is here, so I get the ball and I go there to where the space is.' (Xavi)
My music is like a spinning ball. It can turn in one direction, and then it comes back to origins. View quote
Youssou N'Dour
The fellows that I played with encouraged me to bunt and beat the ball out. I was anxious to make good and did as I was told. When I came to Brooklyn, I adopted an altogether different style of hitting. I stood flat-footed at the plate and slugged. That was my natural style. View quote
Zack Wheat
I am a ball player in the summer and a farmer in the winter time, and I aim to be a success at both professions. View quote
Zack Wheat
I am an arm hitter. When you snap the bat with your wrists just as you meet the ball, you give the bat tremendous speed for a few inches of its course. The speed with which the bat meets the ball is the thing that counts. View quote
