As a veteran, you're a little more poised on that mental side. But athletically, I didn't really think I could get better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I need to get better as a player, I need to get fitter, and I need to get better on the mental side. It's exciting for me, because there's so much I could do better. I don't feel like I've really maxed out any shot. People talk about my serve, but I think that can even get better.
I'm OK being the veteran, but I'm still just a kid.
I'm very confident my health isn't going to allow me to be a good player, especially in the spring.
You need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day.
I think I'm evolving, I'm always in search of bettering myself, how I can improve as a sportsman and as a person.
I felt like I was better at football than I am in basketball.
I wouldn't take any of my injuries back; I feel like I'm stronger as an athlete because of all those setbacks.
I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.
I've never really felt like a veteran. I've never felt like the guy who's like, 'OK, everyone needs to look up to me and respect me.' I've always just been one of the guys that people are excited to get in the ring with. That's all I want.
I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.
