And I don't think even when you talk about like diet, I had a terrible diet when I was a kid, the worst diet. And probably all the way through I was 25. And then I was like, okay, well, this isn't working out well. I'm not quite getting the results I want to get, so why don't I change? Why don't I try some different things? And over the course of 15 years, it came to this. It's hard to say for someone hey, do all these Things that make a difference. I think, and I'm right, it's just start slow, start with what works for you. Maybe start cutting out a few things, but only if you want. I mean, it's everyone's life. They get to choose what they want.”

I think meeting all these people that have been fortunate, because I do have a purpose of wanting to use all the things that I've learned over a long period of time at the highest athletic level to teach other people what may work for them in their life so they could do the things they want to do. I've been fortunate to learn the right things. What I believe to be the right things, what worked for me. So I wrote them down because people ask me all the time, hey, I want to do it. How do I do it? What should I do? And I said, okay, well, let me think about it. And let me articulate it in a way that people can understand.”

“It's a tough question. I mean, winnings taught me a lot of things. When I feel like winning, I never feel like I win. I feel like we win. And that's why I chose team, you know, team sport and other players, other coaches and families. We couldn't do it if we didn't have each other. Couldn't do it if we didn't have the support of everyone else. So the winning for me comes in the joy of experiencing it with other people. I think it's not like I go home and I, man, I'm proud of us. I'm proud of what we did. I think team sports are great in that sense.”

We got to the Super Bowl. We played the Giants, and we lost. It was a month before I really fell back to myself. It was a nightmare. You woke up the next morning, I said, it didn't happen. There's no way that happened. And then this year, After the game, I did the press stuff after the game and I walked back toward the locker room. I was still dressed in my clothes. I saw my wife, and I saw my three kids. And my little girl and my son, Benny, were crying. And I went over and I said, Daddy, we don't like the Eagles.”

We had a lot of trust in each other, a lot of belief in each other, and we'd got to that Super Bowl. I mean, it's hard to get to. And we looked at each other and we said, Look, we got to get one drive, one scoring drive. And then once we got the drive, we looked at defenses at just one stop, one stop, and they got the stop and we got it back out there. We say, okay, let's go. We got a shot. And then we scored again. And then you get the momentum, and then it's on your side.”

They want someone fast. They want someone strong. They want someone that can have all these physical traits.

“I think it's those experiences that you have that become a part of who you are. And the hardest experiences, because it was never... I would say given to me. There were opportunities presented to me, but it wasn't like I think in some ways we're doing disservice to the kids today. There's so much attention on these kids High school athletes as college athletes. Now there was just these guys are getting picked for the NFL draft, and they make it seem like they've done something in a way. And they haven't. They've just started.

So have all these experiences in high school and college, I talk about some of those in the book, you know, about why there's these curiosities of getting better and learning more about myself. Because that's what it's about. You know, there's a lot of adversities. I went through a lot of adversities through my career to get to this point. Not only was sports, but personal things as well that you're learning and you're adjusting and adapting and trying to live this purposeful life.”
