When I started competing, you had to have your coach there. Now you can be coached from a home office via Skype or video. That's not the same as having them on the field with you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You just go out there and try to compete and try to make a play for your teammates.
I tried the broadcasting thing, the coaching thing, but I'll never replace the competitive feeling of being out on the field when we were players.
I compete in a sport on an individual basis, but I have never done it for me.
I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.
I need to be competing. Coaching is good, but I like to be in the fire.
The competitor in me wants to play, but it's not my job to make that decision. That's what the coaches are paid for.
Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
Very few athletes get to experience a home Games, and I don't want to pass up the chance.
In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.
You have to go out and find a way to compete every day. I know what I can do and what I can offer the team.
