Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
There is no ‘i’ in team but there is in win.
I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.
I know the signs of scaredness.
The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.
My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.
Even when I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.
Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
