I find drug use disrespectful, self destructive and weak. I want no part of it. I believe in complete respect for myself and others.
I've never pumped myself up or made myself angry as some sportsmen do. I think that one should treat his opponent with great respect.
It's not being disrespectful, but the less you know an opponent, the more work you have to do.

Knowing your opponent is a crucial part of emulating and defeating that opponent. But scouting is only the first step. Too many leaders spend countless hours studying an opponent's every move in the search for an edge.

These teams analyze every perspective and option and position themselves to take full advantage of any knowledge gained about an opponent.
I have a healthy respect. The fact that I get ready for each opponent shows my respect.
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
I have a sense of respect: respect for my suppliers, respect for the staff, respect for the customer - as long as they respect us. When we have a customer who is playing a provocative, disrespectful game, then we just prefer to just throw him out, rather than deal with it. Some people, sometimes, are unhappy themselves. And that can really create a frustrating performance to us and to the staff and all that. I don't throw customers out as much as I used to. In the old days, "You don't like it? Get out!" I'm much nicer now.
I think any player would say that they want their coaches' respect, they want their teammates' respect, and they want their opponent to respect them.

I don't do nervous, really. You always have to respect your opponent, respect the game of football, and be 100 per cent focused.
A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.
This is what respect means: when you support your favourite without badmouthing his opponent. This is respect, and it's a common thing. It doesn't matter what country or city you represent.
The nicer the point, the more -- the better I feel, the more excited I get. But I never play that my opponent looks stupid. I think that is wrong. I have too much respect for every opponent I play.
