“There's a difference between being injured and being hurt.” — Danny Amendola Quote

There's a difference between being injured and being hurt.

You've got to deal with adversity throughout the season, whether it's injuries, losing a game where you don't play well.

All my family's from Boston.

For me, if I wasn't going to get a full scholarship to go to school, I was going to go to the Army or Navy so I could avoid debt.

You come in on practice squad and you know you're not going to play in the game, you know you're not going to get any reps. It's frustrating... you don't want to just practice your whole life. You want to practice to play.

Not being injured and looking after myself is probably the biggest key to how I've progressed through the years.

I know why I lost my fight to Ryan Bader. Because I was injured. I needed surgery but I didn't want to back out because I was fighting in Japan.

An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing for any team.

Obviously it is going to be tough when everyone else is getting their chance and you are out injured on the sidelines, but you just have to get back right and take time and then make sure when you get your chance you take it.

It can be tough, because watching your children play, you want them to do so well and it's tough to take as a parent. When you see them flying into a tackle, that's when the parent instinct comes in 'oh, don't get yourself injured.' You don't want anything to happen to them, you just want them to be happy and successful.
