I knew there was no money in track and field unless you were unbelievable. So I stopped it when I was 13. I just really wanted to focus on soccer and with soccer training and high school, it would have been too much if I did track and field as well.

DeAndre Yedlin

Not only was I not the best catcher in the Major Leagues, I wasn't even the best catcher on my street!

I played baseball a little bit and ran some track. I was a catcher at one point and I was at shortstop.

Anthony Johnson

I've got so many big gains to make in the javelin and the shot put. I know I'm not going to be winning the field in those events, but I need to do myself justice.

At the 1985 Asian Track and Field meet in Jakarta, where I won five golds and a bronze, I was taken for testing after every race, which reduced my recovery time considerably; otherwise I could have performed even better.

Nothing focuses attention like a real deadline. If you are in a field where life and death, or having a job or not having a job, depends on not missing deadlines, you need to learn to manipulate yourself to meet them; often a good way of doing this is teaming up with non-procrastinators.

John Perry

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

Of course, I believe that Mike Piazza is probably the greatest offensive catcher in the history of baseball, only got over 50%. Johnny Bench is the best catcher in the history of baseball, but Piazza has all the record for catchers as far as offensively.

Pete Rose

My only real job is to play well and do my job on the field. If I do that, all the other stuff will take care of itself.

Freddy Adu

Politics is the only field in which the more experience you have, the worse you get.

Kinky Friedman

I try to keep things as simple as possible: my job as a javelin thrower is to stay in good shape and do my best at each competition.

Neeraj Chopra

"Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track."

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee

The main job requirement for a network-news anchor is thinking it's the only important job in the world. This is a field where solemn gravitas isn't a drawback; it's the whole point.
