As a member of a competitive team, you want to make sure you have yourself ready to play. You don't control anything but what you do.

The more you see, the more you're going to learn. Just got to take advantage of the opportunity and get ready to play ball.

It's important that I'm always playing fresh and that I'm ready to go rather than just playing because I feel like I have to.

Just have fun, and just play hard, and just practice a lot.

People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready - prepared for the game.

If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can.

You might not feel good, and you might not want to practice, but you still go out there and practice as hard as you can.

Training is such a vital part of preparation for a game, you really do train to play. It tops up your ability, like sharpening a carving knife. You can get away with not doing it for a while, as long as you have reached a certain standard of fitness.

When it comes to performance, I don't like to prepare at all if I don't have to.

I just want to play until I think I don't feel good - and if I can still do it. If I can't do it, I don't think I'll keep going once I don't feel I'm playing the way I want to.
