Udonis Haslem
American Athlete
I've learned a lot from the experiences that I went through in high school, through college and overseas, and just everything in life. That is what prepared me for coming into the NBA, being undersized, no recognition, not getting anything easy, and I have been fortunate to prosper in this league.
Quote examples
Austin Aries
American Wrestler
When I first started training, I guess the fact that I was undersized, it just didn't register initially. Obviously, I knew I wasn't huge and there were some bigger guys in the territories at the time, but I guess I never looked at it as a hinderance.
Quote examples
Bob Stoops
American Coach
I was an undersized, undertalented defensive back. I knocked myself out multiple times running into people. I ended my career without an anterior cruciate ligament. I still don't have one. At a certain point, you realize: I've used up all I've got.
Quote examples
Donovan Mitchell
American Athlete
I'm able to defend. A lot of guys don't have that willingness to defend and I think as a guard who's undersized - that's what everybody says; I'm undersized - I'm able to defend and willing to defend and bring that.
Quote examples
Baker Mayfield
American Athlete
I was the undersized underdog who people never gave a chance. From that, the motivation to prove people wrong just grew and grew... Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't hit puberty until later.
Quote examples
Bradley Beal
American Basketball Player
I'm kind of undersized for a two-guard, but I have a strong body. Not a lot of guys know that until I start moving them a bit, and they realize they actually can't post me up that easily.
