When you stop playing for a while, people tend to forget about you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I play, I'm so in the moment that I can't really remember what happened afterwards. It's a rare experience for a thinking person like me.
Whenever I play something, everybody just thinks that's who I am.
I know, if I am playing well, I can be as good as anyone, and I want to show people who write you off and forget about you.
Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.
Certain people who care about me a lot have said 'You don't play the game, and if you don't play the game, you don't get picked for the team all the time.
When people push back on you and don't think you can do it, and you struggle a little bit and wonder if they're right, it drives you to be successful and to be a great player.
People ask me all the time would I like to still be playing? No. I'm glad I played when I played.
But when I play, I still practice hard and focus on my game.
We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.
One thing people always say to me: 'Keep playing.'
