A Quote by Steve Nicol

When you're signing an older player, part of it is can he help the rest of the team with his professionalism, with the way he goes about training every day?
Football is about the team, and every player is ready to help the team.
My dad, who was a teacher, used to tell me that a teacher's goal should be for every one of their students to get an A. If that's your goal every day - to make every student or player learn - then it doesn't matter if you won last year or didn't win. When next year's team shows up, I try to help every player become as good as they can be.
Leading is every day in the training ground, every game and everyone is doing their job to lead the team in the way they think is best.
Ronaldo is a unique player for all of his talent and his professionalism. He is a player who is extraordinarily consistent.
When you play with a big club, you need to get results every single day, even more when a homegrown player goes into the first team. It's not easy.
I never doubted how I could help the team, and I never stopped working hard every day in training.
I rest when I need to rest. I come to training every day as if it is the first day.
It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.
It doesn't matter whether it's the 93rd minute, Giggsy is making his jinky, mazy little runs. You could forgive him for maybe not coming out training every day, because he's done so much in the game, but every day he's out there. He doesn't seem to need a rest.
I became a player who goes to a lot of effort while training, who can rely on his will and his mental strengths.
I've been the best player on every team that I played on, so if I can't be the poster child of your team, then what else is it? It's got to be a black-white issue. Every white player I know who's the best player on their team is the poster child of that team.
Of course team spirit and team's strategy matters more than anything else as far as the team is concerned. As far as I am concerned, if the presence of one player is affecting the morale or the spirit of the team, then we might as well rest that player for a while.
You know what really makes this embarrassing? The other day the president said the leaders in Iraq are 'ready to take off the training wheels.' That's what he said, 'take off the training wheels.' Then he goes out and falls off his bicycle. And they wonder why the rest of the world doesn't take us seriously.
Every team requires unity. A team has to move as one unit, one force, with each person understanding and assisting the roles of his teammates. If the team doesn't do this, whatever the reason, it goes down in defeat. You win or lose as a team, as a family.
I believe, certainly in the NHL, a player who can help a team win because he can contribute on the ice is going to be coveted whatever his beliefs may be or whoever he may be. That goes to national origin, religious beliefs, or sexuality.
As a human, as a professional player, you have to improve every day, every training session, every game.
