Being the player who wants to impact every game is what I've always tried to be.
Nobody wants to play bad football in a game; everybody wants to win, and every player wants to show how good he is. But, you know, sometimes you simply have a game where nothing is happening.
Every player wants to play. That's pretty normal. Every player is unhappy when he's on the bench. That's pretty normal, too. But it's football: only 11 players can start, and the coach has his game plan for each game.
I think I had a lot of impact on every player. Maybe it sounds cocky, but if I don't feel I have an impact or a big impact, I wouldn't be able to be excited about my work every day.
You can look at every game, some where I've been a defensive player and others where I've had an impact.
It's frustrating at times when you think you've earned a chance to play on the field and you're over there sitting on the bench. That's not the kind of player I am. I'm the kind of player who wants to be out there on the field and needs to contribute every minute of every game.
Each and every player wants to win every game, but that's simply not possible.
I'm an ambitious player who wants success and I want to win every game in every competition we're in.
Every player wants to start the game, especially me.
The player I look up to is Rio Ferdinand. I have always played at the back, and I've always tried to base my game on his.
I think every player who truly loves basketball wants to be in the game at all times.
I think every professional player wants to play every game and every minute because you never know when you're going to get a chance to score, in the first minute or the 90th.
Every player that I've ever been around that's worth a damn wants to be challenged and wants to be pushed, and wants to be coached hard, and wants to be held accountable.
I approach every week the same. I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.
I think I've always tried to be very professional to how I approach the game, my preparation. Every game is important.
I think I'm changing the game. In that sense, I'm what Steph Curry is to basketball. Don't get me wrong: I don't necessarily think Steph Curry is the best basketball player, but he changed the game, so he's going to always go down as being remembered. Now everyone wants to shoot the 3 and shoot it from deep.
I've always gone through adversity in this game, and I've always overcome it. My middle school coach told me that I was probably a better hockey player than a football player, and that still drives me every day.
