There were butterflies, otherwise, you're not really ready to play. The locker room, I remember, was quiet and we were very focused on playing that game.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even if we're in fifth place in September, I get butterflies before a game. I'm nervous.
I still get butterflies when England are playing.
First round of the tournament being a Major, I think the butterflies were a little different than that.
Sometimes I get butterflies before I get up on stage.
I always got nervous the nights we played in the World Series. First pitch, I was nervous. Then after that, forget it; I'd start playing.
It's fine to admit being nervous - after the event. But if you tell people you're uptight before the game, it can be like, 'That guy's got problems. We can't trust him.'
I get a little bit emotional during a game!
I still look forward to doing things I've never done before. But the fear beforehand is always worse than the actual moment. Leading up to it, especially before the match, is when the butterflies are at their worst. But in the match, the creatures - my fans - fuel me. They're a huge superpower for me and my survival.
I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!
I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.
