We all know that the great memories of our childhood are the little triumphs - it doesn't really matter whether that was in writing, art, on the hockey field or on the football field. It's something that makes you feel - 'I can do this stuff.'

Michael Morpurgo

I played everything. I played lacrosse, baseball, hockey, soccer, track and field. I was a big believer that you played hockey in the winter and when the season was over you hung up your skates and you played something else.

Wayne Gretzky

I wanted to emulate my parents - Mum captained India in basketball, and Dad won a bronze in hockey in 1972 Olympics. My focus has always been to achieve excellence whether in the field of tennis, in the corporate field, in the art of acting or in motivating youngsters.

Leander Paes

I want to be one of the greatest athletes ever to live, not only in track and field, but in all of general sport.

Usain Bolt

Anything you can do to help someone, I just think it's so important because there's a lot of kids that look up athletes of all size and shapes in a lot of different fields, not necessarily in the basketball field. They get involved emotionally with those people because there's something about certain athletes that people rally around.

Jerry West

The really great athletes make their news on the field, not off the field.

Jimmy Haslam

In track and field, Nike is all-powerful. They control the top coaches, athletes, races, even the governing body.

Mary Cain

I went to an all-girls private school, where we played field hockey and lacrosse.

Nicole Ari Parker

I converted from softball. We've got volleyball, we've got track and field. Athletes come from anywhere and then convert into bobsled.

Elana Meyers

I was super sporty in high school. I played tennis, field hockey, and lacrosse.

Devon Windsor

I believe that coaches and athletes should realize that the athletic department field, court or diamond can be made an extension of the classroom, a place where you and your teammates are learning more than just how to prepare to win. The field, the court, and the diamond should be places where athletes are constantly learning about the game in which they participate, about their coaches and teammates, and perhaps most importantly, about themselves.

Phillip Shriver

I train with track athletes, which is weird for bobsledders. I love training with track athletes because they help me work on my speed, and they give me something to cheer for during the Summer Olympics.

Elana Meyers

People get confused with athletes, especially ultimate competitors. They think they are the same on and off the field. Once you see me on the field, I am a different person. I have a switch I can flip on and off.

Jalen Ramsey

I grew up playing field hockey and lacrosse - prep school sport - and I was terrible at them.

Julie Bowen

Athletes aren't allowed to have an opinion. It's tough. Athletes are evolving right in front of our eyes. You see athletes who are politicians, etc., and still, we're told to shut up and dribble.

Jaylen Brown
