After I went through two years of not winning an event, what kept me going was winning one more major. Once I won that last U.S. Open, I spent the next six months trying to figure out what was next. Slowly my passion for the sport just vanished. I had nothing left to prove.

Pete Sampras

I have to switch my own mentality into a winning mode, not playing for myself or trying to be selfish.

Manny Machado

It's easy to play football when everything is going well and you are winning games back to back, winning, winning, it's the best feeling ever, you can go out there and express yourself you feel like you are not going to make mistakes.

Gary Cahill

In this sport if you want to win you need to be selfish, it is that kind of sport, even though it is a team sport you need to think about yourself.

Valtteri Bottas

I had a really dark time after the Olympic Games... But then I said to myself, 'This is a sport that's blessed me with a home, with an education, with some money. I can't hate this sport. This sport took me out of Louisiana. This sport gave me a chance when so many people don't get a chance. And I love this sport.'

Daniel Cormier

I want to be remembered going off the front, not the other way. After winning my seventh king-of-the-mountains title and winning a stage on Bastille Day, I asked myself, 'What more can I do in cycling?' I want to go out at the top.

Richard Virenque

I've never really understood the criticism that climbing is inherently selfish, since it could equally be argued about virtually any other hobby or sport. Is gardening selfish?

Alex Honnold

It's a beautiful sport, boxing, when you're winning and everything is going well but when you hit the lows it really upsets you.

Kell Brook

You balance sport and business by having a sustainable model for a club and by winning. Because winning makes people feel better.

Shahid Khan

It isn't the sign of a good sport to go out among other people when one has a cold: it is the sign of a selfish and ill-advised person.

Mary Elizabeth Clark

If you look at other countries, you see they have different values: defend more, pass the ball out more, winning is holy. In England, you could say that sport itself is holy. They say, 'Look, guys, it's about more than just winning.'

Johan Cruyff

Like everybody else, I am naturally selfish, and so I'm going to think about myself.

Kirk Cousins

Winning is the most important thing, especially in this sport, because when you lose in this sport, it's very hard because you go back, and you have to rebuild your chances to fight for the title.

Junior dos Santos

You make your own luck in life, so I'm not criticizing anyone - and I'm not even talking about myself for that - but I mean, every year, look at the team that wins. You can't control everything in a team sport. So I'm not going to cry about it, but yeah, there are moments where I'm like, "F - k." But I say it almost in an appreciative way, in a way where I realize it's great not everyone can do it. I wasn't fortunate enough to do it, but that's what makes winning a title so special.

Steve Nash

You've got so many guys coming up and putting in work, and everybody wants to be in my position, so I gotta be paranoid and think that if I'm not producing, if I'm not going out there and winning fights and winning impressively, I'm gonna be replaced.

Rashad Evans

You gotta go out and do the stuff that's going to be pushing the sport and stuff that's going to be next level and scary. It's all about going out and doing those tricks and pretty much surviving.
