I told them, you can succeed - it's not likely the first time, maybe 25 per cent, but you CAN succeed. You can also die. By April 16 they had already been to camp III, well ahead of most teams.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you fail, fail fast enough so you can regroup and do it better.
You can't succeed if you don't know what losing is.
If you have the right horses and the right team, that's the way to succeed. But you have to work, and you have to improve. Every year, you must get better.
I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.
There's no second chance on stage, and I was trained to make the most of my first chance.
There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team.
To me, I've played full seasons and had success. Mentally, I've been through it before. I'm not incapable of going through this.
The only time you mustn't fail is the last time you try.
Back then I said to myself 'screw football.' Actually I just took part in this camp as there was nothing better for me to do. They also didn't draft me because they thought I was too wild and undisciplined.
If you fail the first time that's just a chance to start over again.
