I want to play against the best, and that's what I'm doing, just going out there and being focused, just competing every possession.

I could always hit the ball really far, but you don't need to be strong to do that.

If you can do that - if you run, hit, run the bases, hit with power, field, throw and do all other things that are part of the game - then you're a good ballplayer.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

Oh, I get pretty fired up on the court. I try to play with a lot of emotion, especially when I'm playing in front of a large crowd. I want to go out and do my best, and to do that, I have to play with the most energy possible.

You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.

I play the way it's most effective for the team. They used to say I hit the ball too many times.

I just think repetition and getting the game reps shooting the ball in games really helps, rather than just practicing. You can get game timing.

When you lose the ability to step up and hit the ball as hard and as far as you want, that also affects your ability to will the ball to go where you want it to go, if you know what I mean.
