If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.

When you reach that elite level, 90 percent is mental and 10 percent is physical. You are competing against yourself. Not against the other athlete.

Every time I get in the ring, I have to give 110 per cent because my opponents have nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I have to make sure I go in there with my A-game and come away with the victory.

I mean, as an athlete, as a competitor, you have to have that belief in yourself.

I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.

I believe in giving more than 100% on the field, and I don't really worry about the result if there's great commitment on the field. That's victory for me.

I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.

I'm a sports junkie, and I am interested in athletic will - how you exceed the expectations of your own performance when it counts to deliver something beyond yourself so that you can win.

I've been an athlete and competitor my whole life, and there's nothing more that I get off on than competition.
