People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl. I am now competing in an arena where I can hold my head high.

I am hungry. I am a competitor. I have that fire. But deep down, I truly enjoy the art of competing so much more than the result.
As far as the Jets go, I’m competing to play. It will be a heated competition between Kellen and me, and I’m excited about that; I will do it in a respectful way.

I’ve kind of lived the same lifestyle I’ve had since I was a little kid. Basically, working out and hanging out with my friends and competing. I feel like a really lucky guy. I haven’t had to do anything I don’t want to do in life, and that’s not the case with everyone.
It’s a lot of hard work, competing and not giving up. I think you get more appreciated the older you get.

Being in the playoffs and competing, that’s what you want as a player.

I love competing against the best.
CrossFit is just another thing I’ve become passionate about. I like to continue to make gains and compete with myself. There’s many ways to do that either with adding weight or competing with my own times or my previous records. It’s been nothing but a benefit to me, and I love lifting weights.
