On the tennis court, one needs a cool temperament, tremendous ball sense, reflexes, speed, hand-eye co-ordination, power, timing and peak physical fitness. Off the court, the player and support team need skills in planning, execution, travel, an ability to raise funds when needed, and several other talents.

Sania Mirza

I played basketball, baseball, and football. I never had much downtime. But I think playing multiple sports helped tremendously in my baseball career. I have the agility of all three combined into one.

Giancarlo Stanton

Far more than any other power, imagination is what sets human beings apart from every other species on earth.

Ken Robinson

I had good skills, but my lack of size and speed kept me a little behind the best kids in the other sports. Golf offered a more level field. I would have rather played other sports, but golf picked me.

Zach Johnson

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports.

Troy Polamalu

I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am.

Ryne Sandberg

Few big men have possessed the rare combination of power, speed and agility of Shaq.

Jared Dudley

Every time a baseball player grabs his crotch, it makes him spit. That's why you should never date a baseball player.

Marsha Warfield

For me speed and power is the most important thing on the footy field as well as agility which I work on everyday.

Israel Folau

[ Chadwick Boseman] was not a baseball player. He spent, I don't know, countless hours, many months, working two sessions a day with professional pro coaches to develop the baseball skills that he needed.

Harrison Ford

I've got power and agility. I don't care if I'm not the biggest keeper; I've got the power and agility to get around the goal, and I'm very good at it.

Jordan Pickford

Every organization goes through a lifecycle where they eventually lose their initial speed or agility at a strategic level.

John P. Kotter

Historically, baseball has used the 60-yard dash to measure speed. In the most trivial way, this makes sense. This measurement, however, doesn't tell us much about baseball speed.

Gabe Kapler

Noble be man, Helpful and good! For that alone Sets him apart From every other creature On earth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To me, a hockey player has to be every sport rolled into one: ice skater, baseball player, football player, etc. It's just incredible to watch!

Vinnie Paul

It's possible at any time during a player's career to get into top physical shape or to try to win every game! But you can't teach skills to an old player. Youth coaches should keep in mind that individual skills need to be nurtured at an early age. Players who haven't mastered the fundamental skills become frustrated because the game gets too difficult for them as they move into higher levels.
