A player who conjugates a verb in the first person singular cannot be part of the squad, he has to conjugate the verb in the first person plural. We. We want to conquer. We are going to conquer. Using the word I when you're in a group makes things complicated.
It would be useless for any player to attempt to explain successful batting.
The skilled players can be skilled players and they're not impeded.
Why, then, do you think the white player might have done it?" Reynie considered. He imagined himself moving out his knight only to bring it right back to where it started. Why would he ever do such a thing? At last he said,"Perhaps because he doubted himself.
My job is to make the players I'm playing with better. I'm going to be the cat that does a lof of the other things.'
You name it, I've got it. Some players have to be 100 percent (to play), but I don't.
I'm not like a poker player. I'm not into bluff. My way is to look someone in the eye and tell them the way I'm intending to go. My cards are always on the table.
When you're younger, it's about 'How can I get better? How can I become the player that I want to be?' As you get older, it's 'How can this football team improve?' While all along getting better along the way.

I talk to our players about life and situations and doing the right thing all the time.
Youth soccer is big business. If I don't win, it doesn't matter if I'm developing players, my business is going to hell.
If I win, I attract other good players and by doing that I win more games.
I don't know how smart I am, but I was a student of the game and I still watch games and still pick up things. If you watch individual players you will see genius.
Teddy has lost that yard of pace he never had.
I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.
Rafa being 6-1 against Roger is not a source of pride for me. I'm happy that Rafa won the tournament, but I would have liked that Federer could have won the Grand Slam, because I think he's a phenomenal player. For me, he is the player I enjoy watching the most.

Get your players on who can unlock the door and sooner or later they will break the door down
I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.
The young British players need to take responsibility themselves for their form and ability.
There is no desire from the new British players. They say their coach doesn't travel with them so it's hard, but I played hundreds of players from Eastern Europe and Russia who had no facilities at all.
Early in my career when we went to golf tournaments and charity dinners I noticed businessmen and executives would give the players their cards. Well, they're giving you their cards for a reason. I said to my wife, 'All the guys get these cards and then when they get to the parking lot they rip them up or throw them away. It's really weird.' My wife .. said maybe you should just sign a picture and mail it to them. You know, 'Great playing golf with you,' or whatever. So, I did and lo and behold some of those guys I sent pictures to way back then are now CEOs at big companies.
