“I want to coach high school football, and that's always what I've wanted to do.”
“There's no greater feeling in the world than when you can put a smile on somebody's face just by walking into a room. It's unbelievable. And if I have that power, who am I to waste it, you know?”
“Every year, I take 10 of my best friends from high school on a trip. That's kind of my way for saying thanks to them for being so loyal, for keeping me honest, and for just being great friends throughout this craziness.”
“I get a lot of letters that say, 'I'm a normal, down-to-earth girl. I love to cook, and I love sports.' What I also get are letters from a whole bunch of moms saying, 'My daughter is awesome,' and, 'My daughter is a great daughter.'”
“It's pretty neat to be able to help the team in different ways.”
“When it comes down to that moment, when it's me against you, you know in your head whether you worked hard enough. You can try to lie to yourself. You can try to tell yourself that you put in the time. But you know - and so do I.”
“If you're going to nap, make sure you have a proper chunk of time blocked out. I'm not one of these guys that does the 15-20 minute nap. I don't play those games. I'm, like, an hour minimum. I'm not gonna lay down unless I know I have at least an hour.”
“I'm a Wisconsin kid, so I like brats and burgers and stuff like that. Cheese curds.”
“I'll fight a bear, but I don't like spiders. I'm not a fan of those.”
“I never want to let a day go by without having done something to get a little better.”
“People play with pain all the time.”
“I definitely care about what I look like, certainly when I am going out in public, doing an appearance or something, but when I'm home, I'm all sweatpants, all the time.”
“I live with the fact that while I am playing, I am going to give everything I have, and I will live with those consequences.”
“I was impressionable at that age, and my high school coach did such an unbelievable job helping me, so I want to do that for other kids.”
“My dad was a firefighter for almost 30 years. My mom worked her way up from a secretary to vice president of her own company. They taught me to work hard for everything and take nothing for granted. That's how I play.”
“In the off-season, I train twice a day, five times a week with my trainer. Then, there's always massages and neuromuscular therapy worked in there as well on different days.”
“I Googled 'What do rich people buy?' Because I don't feel like a rich person, and I don't really try to act like a rich person, so I don't know what they buy. I didn't really like the stuff I saw, so I'm gonna stick with my humble lifestyle and just keep working out.”
“I'm always trying to learn and grow, so my diet has, over the years, evolved.”
“I'm not strict on my calorie count; I just pay attention to my body.”
“My goal is I want to create the 20-20-20 club: 20 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, 20 batted balls.”
