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. Troy Polamalu backcareergeneral share on social
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.

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. Troy Polamalu 000apostleback share on social

I knew that I had it tough compared to children around me. But I felt like I needed it. I think I had the wisdom as a child to know that it would help me later on. Troy Polamalu childcomparefelt Change image and share on social
A demon, in a way, is a test of your faith. Because if you're doing God's work, there's no reason for any demon to do anything to you. Troy Polamalu demonfaithgod Change image and share on social
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. Troy Polamalu bearbeautifulchild share on social
As a territory, American Samoa has no representation in the U.S. Senate, and we Samoans lost a respected and powerful ally with the passing of Hawaii Sen. Daniel Inouye. Troy Polamalu allyamericandaniel Change image and share on social
I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime. Troy Polamalu entirefamilylifetime Change image and share on social
