“With the altitude in the Rocky Mountains, the ball jumps off your foot...” — Justin Tucker Quote

“With the altitude in the Rocky Mountains, the ball jumps off your foot.”

“I'll have all of the thoughts, from anxiety and fear to confidence, excitement, exhilaration, joy, celebration with my teammates and my coaches. All of those feelings exist and they're important. They need to be acknowledged.”

“I don't ever let anybody put that evil on me as saying something as audacious as kickers aren't football players.”

“Every time I've faced a tough challenge or had a setback of some kind, I've always gone back to my faith - in the Holy Trinity, the communion of saints, our holy Mother Mary.”

“You never want to slip up and do something that will embarrass you or your family or your organization.”

“I tend to not listen to anything around game time. I want to just dive deeply into my technique and visualize and try to get an idea for what the wind is or how the grass feels underneath my feet.”

“When I went to Everest, I underestimated things. I just didn't know what altitude could do. Or the cold - I especially didn't appreciate the cold. It can be just debilitating, and things can happen so quickly.”

“I know that my body and my mind can take anything that any space outfit wants to give me - high altitude chamber test, which is fine; centrifuge test, which I know I can do five and six G's. These things are easy for me.”

“As technology tries to maintain its dizzying ascent, one dead weight has kept its altitude in check: the battery.”

“I am not made for lonely expeditions. In the sixties, I climbed during the day so I wouldn't have to be alone. I finally learned to stay up for weeks in the high altitude all by my own without being afraid.”

“Moving to Flagstaff from the big city of Melbourne taught me what it takes to become a better runner. For one, there is the altitude, but more importantly, seeking the best is about being surrounded by the best.”
