Teaching them to take charge of their bodies is a job of coaching. Help them gain discipline in conditioning, nutrition and attitude/emotional control.”

“It's been months since I last wrote. I've lived in a state of mental slumber, leading the life of someone else. I've felt, very often, a vicarious happiness. I haven't existed. I've been someone else. I've lived without thinking.”
“Every kid thinks about the Heisman Trophy and dreams about it, but you never think it could happen to you.”
“... Besides it's better to have Miyoshi around. You and me have a been together since Jr. High. Without her around people might think we're gay.”
“Actually, it seems like every time I'm about to pack it in, that's when I get a job.”
