Troy Polamalu Quotes

The greatest thing for me football-wise is that it’s a test of will Picture Quote #1

My best vacation memory is getting barreled at the beach in Hawaii Picture Quote #1

I take pride in my life-my wife, my family. I try my best not to have football define the person that I am Picture Quote #1

I grew up as a kind of nondenominational Christian. I have two uncles who are Baptist ministers. I went to a Samoan church when I was younger. I went to a Catholic school, so I was actually able to experience a lot of different religions. Mormonism, as well. My father in-law, who I’m very close with, is a Muslim Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important to cross train. Surfing is a good cross training sport for your shoulders. I don’t think I know of any other football player who does it, who can go and paddle out past the sets Picture Quote #1

God has control over everything, and obviously, everything to everyone is god-given Picture Quote #1

When people say that you kind of just get - you know, just feel like a little buzzed or dazed or had your bell rung - they consider that a concussion. I wouldn’t. But if that is considered a concussion, I would say any football player at least records 50 to 100 in the course of a year Picture Quote #1

There’s rule changes every year. I do wish, however, that the NFL did have a voice from the players’ side, whether it’s our players’ union president, or team captains, or our executive committee on the players’ side. Because we’re the guys that realize the risk; we’re the guys on the field Picture Quote #1

The Coca-Cola Mean Joe Greene ad is one of the most famous commercials of all time, so I was blown away when they asked me to be in this new spot Picture Quote #1

I think that’s one of the great things about the Pittsburgh Steelers - we’re not a big free-agent team. We build guys up through our system to have a better understanding of our defense Picture Quote #1

I try to take what’s given to me and then mold it to be a better football player Picture Quote #1

If you don’t eat right as an athlete, you’ll get tired and won’t be as sharp. It’s simple to drink sodas and sports drinks, but water is the most essential drink to put in your body Picture Quote #1

Being patient ... and not becoming too stressed out over the big plays, those are the things to remember Picture Quote #1

Orthodoxy is like an abyss of beauty that’s just endless. I have read the Bible many times. But after fasting, and being baptized Orthodox, it’s like reading a whole new Bible. You see the depth behind the words so much more clearly Picture Quote #1

In football, you’re taught to react by being aggressive, taught to react with violence. If you can’t separate that on the field and off the field, you’re going to be in a lot of trouble in your life Picture Quote #1

There’s so much built-up camaraderie and sacrifice, and football is such a tough man’s game. I think that’s why it’s so popular. That’s why so many blue-collar communities and people can really feel attracted to this because it is a blue-collar struggle that football players go through Picture Quote #1

Injury in general teaches you to appreciate every moment. I’ve had my share of injuries throughout my career. It’s humbling. It gives you perspective. No matter how many times I’ve been hurt, I’ve learned from that injury and come back even more humble Picture Quote #1

What’s really neat about the Orthodox church is that it’s like walking back in time 2,000 years to the time of the Apostles, when they created these services. You walk into that and it’s really like... living it. They have maintained the truth ever since the beginning Picture Quote #1

My joy in my life comes from my strength in my life and in my experience with God. That cannot be separated from football. It is all the same to me. It is one. I am one with it Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at football as a violent, barbaric sport. It’s a very spiritual sport, especially for someone facing the challenges during a game: the fear of failure, the fear of getting too big an ego, of making a mistake and everybody criticizing you Picture Quote #1

I didn’t grow up around my father. I didn’t really grow up around my mother, either. I was raised by a community of people. Spiritually speaking, my father is in Heaven, and that is who I look to for all my answers. And that’s why my faith is very strong and why my passion is strong Picture Quote #1

You have the women sitting on the left and the men sitting on the right. Everything is to keep your mind focused on God... To me the most beautiful thing anyone on earth can experience, other than maybe marriage and child-bearing, would be the Orthodox Liturgy Picture Quote #1

People are paralyzed on a football field. People die. You just never know when it’s going to be your last moment. I was the kind of guy who would never talk to my wife on game day. Now I’m the guy who’s like, ‘I love you.’ I want my children to know I love them because I don’t know what’s going to happen out there Picture Quote #1

I try to be passionate about every aspect of my life, how I love my wife, how I serve my wife, how I serve God. In the same way, I try to be passionate about football. I try to serve my coaches with passion. I try to serve my teammates with passion. I try to serve God, through football, with passion Picture Quote #1

I would say I’m more traditional than I am superstitious. I don’t, for example, have to do things ritually before the game in order to feel comfortable going to the game. But I don’t think I’m naturally a football player. I don’t have that grit and that killer instinct Picture Quote #1

It takes a tremendous amount of skill to be a football player. And some of these guys have enough skills to do other sports. Soccer could be one. Basketball could be another. Things where you need incredible hand-eye coordination are always options. I think a football player would be able to adapt to a lot of sports Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been a fan of individual awards because football is such a team sport. There’s so many things that goes into making plays. It’s about teammates trusting one another and working together Picture Quote #1

The best thing about football for me is the reacting. It’s a lot of instincts. But training, for me, it’s more for the meditating. And I spend more time training than actually playing football. So I get into that zone during training more than anything Picture Quote #1

I work barefooted on balance plates. I do explosive squats on balance surfaces that your body has to use muscles it’s not used to. It’s all kinds of exercises that your body isn’t really used to, and it tricks your body into getting stronger every time Picture Quote #1

I think that’s a struggle of every Christian, to be able to get to that point where they’re in constant prayer with God - so that everything they do, in thought, in speech, in work, is praising God and worshipping God Picture Quote #1
