I watch the ball fiercely to see its height and speed off my opponent's racket so I can decide how I want to hit it.

I hit the ball early and move my wrist a lot, so I get bigger angles.

Because I'm fairly big, I like to use my body. So I'll control the ball, even when there's a player on me, and then I'll pass.

You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.

When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to.

I played a lot of sports when I was a kid so I get in that ballgame mindset of being really, really respectful, but at same time saying to yourself, 'Don't back down a single inch, hang with these guys if you can.' If they throw it high and tight you have to stand in there, you can't take yourself out of that moment.

You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putter face. If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line. Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position.

The man with the ball is responsible for what happens to the ball.

If I'm playing higher up the pitch, it's important I don't get carried away and start dropping too deep and I stay in my position.

You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.
