I learn from each match that I have, especially when it's a different opponent.
Names that come to mind that I've learned from are Tom Brady - the way he gets the ball out and is so decisive. You can tell he is in total control out there. Another name is Aaron Rodgers, and how he's in total command. And also, Cam Newton, the way he has fun. I love that part of it.
I train to be the champion.
I compete against myself in competitions anyway, so I train against myself in practice.
