Polo really is a European sport. It’s not really that popular in America. I’m not an expert on the sport, but it’s fun to watch.
Traditionally, sport has looked down at number crunchers, but the reality is that they give sport the financial sustenance it needs.
The true value of sport is more than the skills that young people learn.
I have lots of favorites movies. I say this only because it’s a favorite movie because it’s a sport I love. I’m a huge baseball fan. There are movies I like as much as this, but I sort of single this movie out because I’m a baseball nut, and that’s ‘Field of Dreams.’
Back then, 22, I just loved the sport so much. It was such an exciting time, it was fun. It was an amazing ride.
You need at least six or seven years to understand the philosophy and concentration of karate to know to clean your spirit of everything and dedicate your mind and body to the sport.
All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
I work out with our trainer, Jocelynne Boschen of Alpha Sport L.A., hike a lot, and eat healthy. I love cooking so prepare a lot of my own food and avoid processed foods. No fast food. No soda.
As a professional, I get in a dilemma between sport and entertainment. There’s these two sides.
I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports, I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.
I think there’s a lot of deep-rooted history in England with racing. Lots of Formula One teams are based there. Formula One is obviously a huge sport over in England and Europe.
I love to compete. To me, business is the ultimate sport. It’s always on. There is always someone trying to beat me.
Yeah, I am a little bit, and I think it is a natural progression of the sport, of going upwards in technical ability and everything like that.
I’m not going backwards in this sport ever, especially in pay. Why would I?
Field hockey is my strongest sport, and if I lose a game, I take a long, hot bath and moan about it.
War of attrition, war of wills. That’s what the Stanley Cup playoffs are – more intense, more physical and more prolonged than the playoffs of any other sport.
I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don’t like the term ‘exercising.’ I feel like with sport, you’re playing games. But with exercise, you’re literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It’s weird.
Every fighter, when they box, wants to leave a mark in their sport, or a legacy, and I managed to do that beyond my wildest dreams.
People forget that I’m a human being, just because I play a sport that everybody loves. We’re human. We’re not invincible. We share the same feelings and emotions that people on the outside feel. I don’t think people really understand that.
Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.
On the other hand, chess is a mass sport now and for chess organisers shorter time control is obviously more attractive. But I think that this control does not suit World Championship matches.
I was a very good athlete: actually professional in the sport of handball.
I think sport in general affects what people see in movies. I always try to explain to people in Hollywood that we have to make movies more like sport because, in sport, everything can happen and it’s so much better than movies in some ways.
I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it’s not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That’s how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be a musician.
My wife asks me daily to leave wrestling, but I will not leave my favourite sport. I will train others.
I think some fans are very passionate, they just say what they want to say but they just need to slow it down a bit. We’re still only human. We’re not what people think. We might be famous but we love the sport and just want to play football.
I don’t think that – you know, I’m sure that there’s guys that are doing it, because I’m sure in every sport there’s players who want to get the edge. But I think that it’s been blown overly – way more than guys are using it in our game.
Sport and health are so important to our nation that they deserve to be right at the front of people’s minds.
My one complaint with my father as a parent is that, not only was he not a golfer, but also he was sort of opposed to golf. I was a country club kid growing up. I should have played golf, but my father thought golf was a sport for old men.
The sport of shooting is my life.
Sport is a great thing to get involved with, it’s not just fitness but it also gets your competitive side out.
You really don’t do anything else in your life; it’s a very little bubble that you grow up in. And you have to live in that bubble because of the intensity of the sport.
What’s endlessly complicated in thinking about women’s gymnastics is the way that vulnerability and power are threaded through the sport.
The coach doesn’t have to play the sport as well as you do. They have to watch you and get you to be your best.
My brother Barry was into all sports, and so was my late father. For me, hockey was the one sport I loved and played. I didn’t really pay much attention to the other sports.
A different type of human has to play that sport. Hockey players keep fighting – nobody cares what’s wrong with you, as long as you have one foot to skate on, you keep playing.
It’s important to just kind of get away from your sport until you miss it. It’s about taking time to enjoy other aspects of life or learn new things. It helps rejuvenate.
Hmm, the best thing about being in the NFL? In America it’s the No.1 sport; it’s exciting, fun, so to me the best thing is the buzz that surrounds football on and off the field.
I roller skated when I was younger, but when you’re on a track that’s slanted and you’re with other people all skating in a pack, it’s a whole different sport.
Sport is a universal language, building more bridges between people than anything else I can think of.
With me, boxing’s a beautiful sport.
Hunted for sport by the rich, then driven from large tracts of its natural habitat by agricultural and housing development, the giant panda deserves better than to be scrubbed from conservation’s ledger books through false accounting.
I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can’t cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.
I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it’s just a great month of parading.
I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don’t want to talk about it, ever.
I don’t know if comedy is a male sport. I always wondered that.
I wasn’t interested in sport or anything obvious, so I didn’t stand out. I was interested in music, but I couldn’t read music, so I wasn’t allowed to do the GCSE. I was interested in painting, but no one’s interested in a 16-year-old boy who’s interested in painting. I wanted to get out of school very, very quickly.
I believe the reason for my early independence is sport, through which I learnt at an early stage to take care of myself and be disciplined.
The sport of horse racing which, at its best, showcases the majestic beauty of this animal and the athleticism of jockeys, has reached an alarming level of corruption and exploitation.
You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn’t really permit it.
Up until the age of 16, I was very focused on sport – I played a lot of football. Then I tore my ACL and had to stop playing.
There’s ups and downs with boxing, layoffs are part of the sport and they can either help or hurt a guy.
Proving to my friends, family, and the people that I love that they were wrong – that in spite of my age and my lack of experience, I could change sport and achieve something really special – gives me a lot of satisfaction.
Now there are two or three teams who are very ethical in their outlook who have opened up the economic benefits and that is probably going to be a turning point in the sport.
The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.
I literally tried every sport and was miserable. Soccer couldn’t hold my attention. I couldn’t figure skate. I’m afraid to swim. So I did dance for five years. It came a time where I was getting a little bit bored with it.
In Cuba we use our champions to promote the sport.
I played football in high school, I played baseball when I was younger, things like that, but I think it was the passion I had for track where you want to do an individual sport and be the best, I think – there’s nothing that can replace that.
