Motivation Quote by Michael Strahan

There’s a studied normalcy to “My hobbies and leisure activities include cars and golf,” and that’s the point. Strahan, a larger-than-life NFL icon turned daytime-TV pro, chooses two leisure markers that instantly read as American success without sounding like a brag. Cars signal taste, control, and engineering-nerd pleasure; golf signals access, patience, and membership in a certain adult world where deals, friendships, and reputations are quietly brokered over 18 holes. Put together, they’re a shorthand biography: I made it, I’m steady, I belong.

The phrasing matters, too. “Include” keeps it modest, almost resume-like, as if he’s sanding down celebrity into something legible to a broad audience. It’s not “I’m obsessed” or “I collect,” which would invite scrutiny about excess. It’s the language of an interview, a media kit, a brand-safe answer that avoids controversy and positions him as relatable to middle-aged aspiration while still nodding to luxury.

Contextually, this sits neatly inside the post-athlete second act. Strahan’s career has been as much about likability and mainstream trust as it has about dominance on the field. Cars and golf are leisure activities that don’t alienate: they’re competitive-adjacent but not combative, affluent but not gaudy, individual but socially acceptable. The subtext is reputational maintenance: even off the gridiron, he’s still playing a game, and he’s choosing the hobbies that keep the audience, sponsors, and coworkers comfortable.
