This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.

I go out there with whatever the coaches call, and whatever they do, I just go out there, and I'm the player. Coaches coach, and players play.

All I did from day-to-day is coach. That's what my job was, that's what my passion was, and the fact that now it's something I'm being considered for is just mind-blowing to me, that I would ever be in that kind of company.

I don't view myself as a team manager, but a team captain. I'm part of the team, but everybody else as well.

I'm a head coach. I'm not a politician, an activist, or an expert on societal issues.

No, I'm not coaching. It's a huge responsibility to coach somebody.

Since we travel a lot as a team, I spend a lot of time on a plane where I like to play 'Football Manager.' I have been a soccer fan since I was 5 years old, so to be able to manage soccer teams is a lot of fun.

My first career was as a coach and a teacher.
