A lot of players think the game is all about individual performances when it's really all about a team game.

It's hard for young players to see the big picture. They just see three or four years down the road.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you're young, you can't play enough.

In all Games, there is always a tendency, particularly in the lead up to the Games when there isn't much sport to talk about, to write about things that are not sport.

If I miss anything about the sport, it's the camaraderie of old teammates.

I don't think that players learn how to play any other aspect of the game in high school or college.

At times like that it's difficult to remember what's at stake, that history is in the making. As a player you feel so cut off sometimes, it can be tough... Which is why it is an enormous advantage to play at home.

You hear all the time about European players playing the game. These players that come over at 17, 18 and 19, they just don't all of a sudden become skilled. From the time they were little fellas, they learned the fundamentals of the game. Let them create.

Sometimes I think sportsmanship is a little bit forgotten in place of the individual attention.
