When you have that respect from your teammates, it makes it a lot more comfortable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's ultimately the thing that sticks out to you most, that's most important to me, is that I have the respect of my teammates.
With my experience, I think I've earned that respect from the team and from my teammates.
I think that's the ultimate sign of a teammate and respect is that they compete against one another so hard at practice that here's a chance to share some knowledge inside. It takes some humility to do that.
People respect you more if you just play and blow something out than if you take the easier road. That's how we think. You get more respect and people play harder for you. Just play till you blow it. Just play till it goes.
You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it's the same for every sportsman.
You get respect when you give respect. That's how you get respect.
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?
You start to look at it with a deeper respect and I think that deeper respect for what you do builds more self-respect.
You have to respect your opponent.
