I give credit to my team. I have dedicated people from my label, my fans, and people at these companies that believe in me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the big thing I've had going for me in that regard has been the success of the league. I don't have quite as much control over things as people believe, so I frequently receive more credit than I deserve, and occasionally more criticism as well.
I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.
In 2007, people tried to belittle me a little bit and sort of take the credit away from me and my team and what we achieved.
I've got a great team around me with my family, manager and label, and we've all worked hard together to make things happen.
I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.
I don't care that people thought I was one way for my whole career because now that I am not attached to a team, I can have my own opinion, I can have my own voice. I can link myself to my own thought process rather than a generic message most teams try to get across.
I take inspiration from everyone and everything. I'm inspired by current champions, former champions, true competitors, people dedicated to their dream, hard workers, dreamers, believers, achievers.
The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.
With my experience, I think I've earned that respect from the team and from my teammates.
I have a good team around me. I have people I trust around me. If I go the wrong way, they will yell at me. Just as they have in the past.
