I don't know why, but I felt as if I was always behind the eight ball, so to speak.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like it when I am in the middle; I am closer to the ball. The manager wants me to pass, to make assists, create chances, and I do more because I think the position is more central, and I don't ask all the time for the ball at my feet.
I'm at my most comfortable out on the pitch when I'm in front of goal with the ball at my feet. It's about being used to certain situations, and with time, you will find, chances don't get snatched at.
But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it's mine. It's just a feeling.
In A-ball, you're either going to move up, or you're going to get released. That kind of paranoia played a lot into the players' mentality leading up to the events of 'Eight Men Out.'
I was never a strikeout pitcher. Why should I throw eight or nine balls to get a man out when I got away with three or four?
I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the ball had enough to get out. It's an absolutely incredible feeling. I can honestly say I did it.
There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can't miss a ball.
When I see three balls, I just swing at the middle one.
My mind started wandering. I started playing carefully, instead of playing the way that had gotten me to that point. I had to force myself to keep driving the ball.
I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.
