Neither winning nor losing means as much to me as knowing the crowd has enjoyed my match. Some players feel that winning is everything and that losing is a disaster. Not me. I want the spectators to take home a good memory.
Losing can persuade you to change what doesn't need to be changed, and winning can convince you everything is fine even if you are on the brink of disaster.
I think a lot of us are looking for the same thing. I feel very lucky to have a definitive moment where I know everything shifted in me, and it was the moment I read that quote. Because I thought, A. That's everything I know about vulnerability. It's not winning, it's not losing, it's showing up and being seen. B. That's who I want to be.
I have a very good feeling at Inter, and I don't want to let them down after winning everything and losing Jose Mourinho.
The way I've always approached it is if we're winning and people want to talk about me, it's fine. If we're losing, then you really get on me, and I'll definitely try to be better to help us win. But I'm fine with it, as long as we're winning and we're playing good basketball.
I'm sure a lot of players say it, but winning is almost so you don't lose. The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing.
I want good players around me because it's all about winning.
I want to control everything that goes into winning or losing.
I love being at home now, improving my cooking. I've got a really bad memory, so my first attempts were a disaster - I'd forget what ingredients to put in. But I do a lasagna that's a crowd-pleaser, and a good lemon drizzle cake, which I take to my mom's for the Sunday roast to fatten the family up.
I'll always have a winning mentality in me, and I want to transmit that. I equally feel what the players are feeling and I know them as men.
Home is memory, home is your history, home is where you work. Some people want to abandon it and become truly local. But the questions are all there.
Winning isn't everything to me, but it's a close second. Losing isn't something that I can just brush off and fake a smile to hide my frustration. It's that will and determination that I hope will get me where I want to go.
I feel I have experienced pretty much everything I can in football, winning, losing, the injury side and all the set-backs.
Everything is a lesson, and there's always something to take and to learn. Whether you're winning championships or you have a losing season, you've consistently gotta go back to what you're passionate about and what has brought you to where you are today. For me, it's acting. It is the actual craft of it, and that takes work.
Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.
There is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and useful for life in later years than some good memory, especially a memory connected with childhood, with home.
