Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.
It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice
The most important thing, the thing that unites all of us, is that we can INSPIRE and CHALLENGE one another TO BE BETTER.
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.
I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
I never tried to prove anything to someone else. I wanted to prove something to myself.
If you don't believe in yourself...nobo dy else will.
If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.
Once you know what it is in life that you want to do, then the world basically becomes your library. Everything you view, you can view from that perspective, which makes everything a learning asset for you.
I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.
If you want to make history, you have to do historic things
There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own
You have to rely on others to have success as a group.
If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear.
You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.
I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
I wanna be the best, simple and plain
There's a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there's a choice you have to make. We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision.
I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.
If you make it, great. If you miss it - what's there to be afraid of?
You have to be true to who you are.
You always have to be on edge. You always have to take every practice, every game, like it is your last.
Listen to how everyone is talking about you. You have to use it as fuel for motivation.
