You can be dominant without the ball by trying to move the opposition where you want them to go. — © Frank de Boer
You can be dominant without the ball by trying to move the opposition where you want them to go.
We always want to play and be dominant with the ball, but we respect the opposition.
Players taught to watch the man with the ball leaves them totally unprepared for the next move, which is always dictated by a player without the ball.
I'm attracted to things that are in direct opposition to something that I've just done. It's not like I'm trying to make the right chess move. It's more just that personal thing where you get connected to something for so long and then you want to do something that's in opposition to that.
Look at KD and Kyrie, and they're going to be ball-dominant. You've got to really recognize that and get the ball where it needs to go.
When you are trying to move mountains you want-and need-people on your side who want to move them with you.
My only problem is the fear that opposition bowlers might go for my fingers and that's why I was scared of the short ball. Now I am struggling with the ball pitching up and swinging away. I just keep nicking that one.
The defense will tell you who shoots the ball. If it comes down to them trying to take the ball out of my hands, I trust my teammates to go out there and make every shot.
I'm not trying to steer people in a direction. I'm just trying to move them. Wherever it takes them, it doesn't matter to me. I just want them to be moved in one way or another, and that's a hard thing to do, I think.
You want to go out there and do what's best for the team, help your team move the ball down the field, make plays, help them win football games.
I want the ball for 90 minutes. When I don't have the ball, I go high pressing because I want the ball.
When the opposition has the ball you don't want to chase. You want to stay fresh for when the opportunity comes to score.
On crosses, sometimes I make my move one or two seconds before the ball is coming because I'm trying to guess that the ball is coming there. It's intuition. So I run. Sometimes the ball comes...sometimes not. But that intuition is working.
If you're dominant on one side of the ball, you set yourself up for getting beat if you're not on both sides of the ball.
Every ball matters - if with the last ball the opposition need four to win, and you've gone for 96, can you get that out of your mind and bowl a dot ball and win the game?
I don't want them to move their plants. I want them to stay in Michigan. I want them to stay in all of the places where they are, or expanding to other places. But I want it to be in the United States. I don't want them to go to Mexico.
When you lose the ability to step up and hit the ball as hard and as far as you want, that also affects your ability to will the ball to go where you want it to go, if you know what I mean.
