A Quote by Jan Vertonghen

Sometimes it's better if you can play in only one position. You see that with other players. These guys specialise in one position and they can completely concentrate. — © Jan Vertonghen

Not many know this, but in training sessions, I like to play in the center-back position sometimes. I think I'm good at that position, and my father used to be a central defender. Some people don't realize that if you play in that position, you can better understand how the defender thinks.
You should never want to be a one position player. If you're a real basketball player, you should be able to play any position. That's the difference between really good players and average players.
Being injured gives you the chance to reflect on the players who play in your position, too. You see things you can do, things you can maybe do better.
There's no doubt that position is a very important aspect of the game. But some players take this concept to the extreme and consequently miss opportunities when they refuse to play hands out of position.
I'm in the perfect position. It's a sports position and a political position where I can help better the lives of athletes around the world.
Our fellow players are sometimes occupying the spaces I want to play in. And when I see that, it makes it difficult for me to come to those spaces as well. So that forces me to adjust my runs based on the position of my fellow players. And unfortunately, they're often playing in my zones. I think that's a shame.

I'm so blessed to have a chance to play 15 years in one spot. I know my position is different than most. But even in my position, guys that have played it this long, have probably already been with two or three different teams.
If I'm in a good position to score then I'm happy to put the ball in the back of the net, but if I'm not, and I see someone in a better position, I'll give it to him.
If you take a wrong step but you're still in that football position, you can just react and change directions. I think for the most part young guys need to work on their football position. Get in their stance and hold it as long as possible. Work on your flexibility, especially in the hips, so you can hold that longer. A good football position will help you be more mobile and give you better leverage in the trenches.
There are a handful of guys that are really good at what they're doing from the receiver position, which is the easiest position in the NFL. There are a handful of guys that are good at it. There's not one particular guy that would concern me when I'm going into a game, but there are guys that you have to take notice of in the league.
I'm one of the best players in the world in that No.10 position. Fans, coaches, players, and everyone knows that my best position is playmaker.
When we play in the Pro Tour there's no crowds in, so you can concentrate better. The others play better as well, there's players who can't play too good on TV but on the floor when it's nice and quiet they can bang them in, let me tell you.
I watch tape of players - Chris Paul, Deron Williams, all the top players who play my same position.
Sometimes you lose the head a bit, and lose your position, when you should be more relaxed and hold your position, which is better for the team.
College, our job is to get guys to get better. Work hard, get better and be in position so when your time comes you get to play in the NBA.
