A Quote by Jack Sock

I'm going to win or lose a match playing on my terms, playing my game, which is big and aggressive and trying to dictate points. Not shying away from that. — © Jack Sock

You cannot turn your winning attitude on when you think you 'need it.' You must work on it every day, every practice, every match - win or lose. Focus on playing to win, not playing to lose, for there is a season of difference between the two.
I think that at the start of a game, you're always playing to win, and then maybe if you're ahead late in the game, you start playing not to lose. The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
The important thing to know about playing to win and playing not to lose is that there are actually different neural networks that are being used. It's not very easy to do both at the same time and, if you are trying to have a playing to win mentality, you're going for it, there's some things that trip you up or trigger the wrong neural network. If you start worrying about your mistakes all of a sudden, if you get too focused on the facts and the details, these are going to shift your neural networks and sort of screw up your strategy.
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it's a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
You can pick any game and there are two or three plays that determine whether you win or lose, going either way. That's the beauty of the league, man. Every game counts, no matter who you're playing or what their record is.
When you are playing against an opposition, you want to go out there and win a game, and for that, you have to be aggressive.
I was trying to be improving my game, being more aggressive, and not just playing from the defensive end.
I had the same game plan during a tournament when I was playing bad as when I playing good: being just as aggressive, hitting at every pin.
If you're playing someone you care about, it's tough, and I don't want to be in that situation. We are playing big matches for big points and prize money, and I take it very seriously. I relax when I'm outside tennis.
Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.
Whether you win a match or lose a match, in terms of your emotions, it's important to be pretty levelheaded.
Basketball is a game and their primary reason for participating in the sport is simply for the pleasure they experience while playing. Don't be afraid to lose. Have fun while you're busy playing hard and playing smart.
If you're playing against an aggressive side, you need to play an aggressive game.
Negative energy? Sure, there are awkward moments, but you're in 'Big Brother.' Everybody is trying to win, everybody is trying to form alliances, everybody is trying to kick everybody out of the house. If there wasn't negative energy, then we weren't playing the game.
If you're not playing a big enough game, you'll screw up the game you're playing just to give yourself something to do.
Stats don't matter. I care about winning, not stats. If I score 0 points and we win I'm happy. If I score 50, 60 points, break the records, and we lose, I'm pissed off. 'Cause I knew I did something wrong. I'll have a hell of a season if I win the championship and average 20 points a game.
