Unless a player has an 'understanding chess' rating of at least 2400, the amount of significant knowledge that he can impart on others is limited.
Michel Platini has no bottle. He is not a great player.
That's one thing I pride myself on is working hard in the weight room, working hard in practice, trying to become a better player.
I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.
Managers are never 100 percent in control. You're at the mercy of the players. When you're a player, you're driving. I'm the navigator. I hardly ever think about driving anymore, unless there's two out in the bottom of the ninth.
I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
Don't ever have a rule that you won't enforce with your best player.
Am I an Apple bigot? No. I can critique their products and their customer service philosophy. But overall, they do better than any other player.
I'm the most loyal player money can buy.
Play off your great player... great teams have a go-to player and they play off of him.
A coach who is not teaching leads to the worst thing in a program -- players not learning.
Only run special plays for special players; find plays that fit your players.
Players must do what you want them to do in pressure situations.
At the end of the day, the Arsenal fans demand that we put eleven players on the pitch
I could have played more complex stuff. I could have been a busier player. But that's not what I wanted to do. I played what I wanted to play.
The 50 greatest players don't matter when you're in the Hall of Fame. We all know that I was not one of the 50 greatest, I was one of the 25 greatest - in my mind.
I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players.
Messi is the number one. No other player is close to him.
Glue guys aren't superstars. They're not the No. 1 option. They just do things only coaches really appreciate. The stars get the headlines, but glue guys help you get in the winner's circle. I don't think you can win without having that kind of player.
Make no mistake about it. These are not 'kookie' birds. Right now the greatest player, the big tent on the political scene in America, is called the Tea Party movement.
Im always interested in working with people who are good team players - that are selfless that way in their interests and dedication to the project.
As far as all players [being unfairly connected], people have their own opinions, and they're usually from the outside looking in. I don't listen to someone who is on the outside of what we're dealing with every day on the inside.
I've got to give Larry Bird his due; he was a great player. He knew the game and he was smart.
Larry Bird is overrated in a lot of areas. ... Why does he get so much publicity? Because he's white. You never hear about a black player being the greatest.
I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.
