Quotes by Josh Shipp

“Its been something thats been lingering in my mind for awhile. For the Stanford and Cal games, I really didnt feel comfortable , but I wanted to go out there and try and help the team get a win. It was just real sore and painful in those two games. I tried to go again last weekend and I just decided I couldnt do it the whole year, there was just too much pain.”

“Im hoping to play, but well have to wait and see. I want to get back out there as soon as possible. We have a chance to do something special this year.”

“It felt good just to get out there and play.”

“Its a privilege to be here.”

“I felt it in the second half of both games. It is something Im going to have to get used to and play through. I expect some level of pain and stiffness the rest of the season. I just have to get treatment and continue to do strengthening exercises for the joint.”

Being confident simply means believing that you have what it takes to do the job.

And the bummer thing is, ghosts never leave. They might leave you alone sometimes, but theyre always there deep down, whispering lies in your ear. They echo the lies others told you: That youre not smart enough; that youre not pretty; that youll never amount to anything.

If youve treated your girlfriend without respect, taken advantage of her, or cheated on her, your actions have taught her that she has no value. Needless to say, this is a serious, serious injury. If you dont try to make it right, she might start to believe the lie youve told her and spend the rest of her life thinking she deserves poor treatment.
