I and Alex Salmond are not in competition - we are on the same side; we are on the same team, working together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When one guy undermines the other, it only causes trouble, and the team isn't successful. It's very important for both of us to accept our role and help the team. One guy can get hot, and if that's Alex, I'll support him and help any way I can.
Team competition is my priority.
It's not good to focus on one person or two persons about being your rivals. The important thing is just to train hard and be ready for the competition and to prepare for the races so that in case of anything that comes out, you are able to handle it.
I think that the relationship between two top-level athletes who are rivals is one of the most fascinating human relationships to explore. It's always one atom away from being a tragedy.
I feel very competitive with Robert Morse off-set. We often duke it out. He always wins.
Of course, rivals do affect athletes mentally, but if you are competing with top-notch athletes, you will push each other, you will encourage each other.
I have never considered any player as my competitor; each one of them is good and talented, and my job is to beat them.
I'm a competitor.
The bottom line, in the professional level, no matter where you go, there's going to be competition. That's what it is. At the end of the day, you're trying to put team first and make each other better.
We are competing against ourselves.
