It never became an obsession for me to score at all costs. I've always said that I'm not a big scorer, I'm a worker.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Goal scoring is what I do, and it's the thing that makes me most happy, so I'm really happy inside. But I'm just not the sort of guy who shows that sort of emotion on the outside too much.
I'm not as goal obsessed as I am process obsessed.
I must continue to work hard in training. I need to think more like a goal scorer; sometimes I get so immersed in the game because I love general play so much.
At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.
I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.
I love scoring for the fans, for the team, for myself. That's not to say that I won't pass if I see a teammate in a better scoring position. But I like to score.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Those who said I'm not an out-and-out goal-scorer are probably right. I always feel I could score more.
I'm always disappointed when I don't score.
I can only guess that, for guys in their 30s and 40s who watched me play, they understood that the score never mattered and my paycheck never mattered (in relation) to how I played. I played with Little League enthusiasm and professional flair. That's what fans are really looking for.
