You start chasing a ball and your brain immediately commands your body to 'Run forward, bend, scoop up the ball, peg it to the infield,' then your body says, 'Who me?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The key for me is movement. When the ball comes into the box, or when the wide players get it, that's where I have to be clever and make my runs. That's where I come alive.
It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.
Every time I touch the ball, I think I'm going to go all the way. I think I'm going to score a touchdown. I'm the runner I am because I think that I'm going to go all the way every single time I touch the ball.
See the ball; hit the ball.
I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps the other way. It goes right by his glove and I laugh.
But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it's mine. It's just a feeling.
It will always be the ball and me.
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.
They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.
You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.
