Just set yourself a goal and try and stick to it. Because you'll always end up better than where you started.

Goals give you a mark to shoot for and keep you motivated when you face adversity.

If you don't have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you're going, and you're going to work very hard to go nowhere.

The first thing you have to do is take everything with a grain of salt. You know, you've gotta just look at the goal, focus on what you gotta do and take one step at a time as a whole, as every performance being that's it, that's one objective, and let's just move forward and work on that.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

When you set a goal for yourself, you do what you need to.

Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.

You keep your eyes on the prize, you try to do what's right, and eventually, you'll reach your goal.

My goal is always the same: to keep the other player from ever scoring a point. That doesn't always happen, but that's what I try for.
