Most players don't mind drug testing once they realize they don't have to study for it.
You must have your player's heads and hearts before they will do anything for you
It's always the same when you don't get enough snaps. If we can get it going, stay on the field, the beauty of the offense is they'll all get involved in it. You've got to have drives, you've got to make first downs. You can't get players involved if you only have three plays and out. That's not real good.
The world depends on fungi, because they are major players in the cycling of materials and energy around the world.
It (a baseball box score) doesn't tell how big you are, what church you attend, what color you are, or how your father voted in the last election. It just tells what kind of baseball player you were on that particular day.
The problem with being Comeback Player of the Year is it means you have to go somewhere before you can come back.
I always say golf's a really good exposer of a player's personality.
He credited his teammates, who he thanked in turn, with challenging him every day and driving him forward and making him a better player.
As a player, remember that the bench is not a prison, but an extension of the first group. Concentrate on the quality of your play when you do get into the game. If you play 20 minutes, play the best 20 you can possibly play.
Young players calculate everything, a requirement of their relative inexperience.
I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team's players.
People think [baseball players] make $3 million and $4 million a year. They don't realize that most of us only make $500,000.
It is more satisfying to be a bad player at golf. The worse you play, the better you remember the occasional good shot.
Players know how to dribble, shoot and pass. The challenge is to teach them why they should do it a certain way, and when they should do it.
Michael Jordon may have been the best basketball player in history, but he couldn't have won six NBA titles without a team.
You can't let any team awe you. If you do, you'll wind up a horseshit player.
Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.
Ultimately the presence of other well known players is driving us to build a more compelling, innovative product.
Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.
Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.
When I went blind at 13, I realized that I wasn't going to be a good baseball or basketball player like I enjoyed before. It forced me to look beyond the obvious, to things that I could still do well.
Most football players are temperamental. That's 90 percent temper and 10 percent mental.
The Pakistani government under Musharraf is a strong and key player in the global war on terrorism, and their contribution has been second to none.
Watch your attitude. I don't mean to sound like so much of an old head, but there is another generation behind me, out there, doing it now. I find that, with the whole hip-hop generation, there's a lot of attitude. Whether it's confidence or arrogance or whichever, I will always say to a young guy, “Nobody wants to work with an asshole.” You know, you can still be a great player. You can still play all of the baddest licks in the world. But if you don't have a good attitude, nobody's going to work with you.
If I'm a "B player," that's because the "B" stands for badass.
