The reason I became a manager was to have full control over training. If you are a coach, you are bound by what the manager wants you to coach. The other reason is that I just like the company of football people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just think to be a manager you've got to live and breathe and have this incredible enthusiasm for football, the whole thing. And while I love the game, and it's been a large part of my life, it's not the only thing in my life.
In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.
I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.
Being a manager is about getting into the minds of the people you represent.
I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.
I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a manager would be my first choice.
If I look myself as a manager, I have lot more to learn.
I'm not sure there are a lot of things I'd want a manager for. I suppose I feel that at least the decisions I make are coming from me, and I'm not put into a situation that I wouldn't want to be in.
Being a part of the National Football League for so long, I've come across so many trainers and equipment managers who've allowed me to be who I am today.
I could never be a manager. All I have is natural ability.
