I've always relied on discipline to achieve goals great and small. At a young age, my father instilled a real work ethic in me - and a fear of men. I always felt like if I didn't have a natural knack for something, I could kind of out-discipline the competition as it were. So I would always work as hard as I possibly could, sometimes to my own detriment and my personal life. For me, I think will power and discipline are very synonymous.

And every time I stepped on that football field during practice I wanted to leave that football field with learning something about what the practice was about for me that day...

My father gave me some advice when I was very young - whatever someone tells you in the future, don't forget Pele is the best.
