If you don't play to win don't play at all.
When you lose, talk little. When you win, talk less.
The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it's digging deep, it's doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.
You have to believe in the process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.
I'm a pretty good winner. I'm a terrible loser. And I rub it in pretty good when I win.
Athletes are always talking about money at a time when everyone else is struggling so badly to make it. We all make way more than our fair share. And I just think it reflects poorly on myself and my teammates. I really do just want to win, and that has and will continue to be the reason that motivates me and is the biggest factor in my decision-making process.
I think that at the start of a game, you're always playing to win, and then maybe if you're ahead late in the game, you start playing not to lose. The true competitors, though, are the ones who always play to win.
