I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.
Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
I don't think that once you get to one level, you can relax. You've got to keep pushing.
