I go out there with whatever the coaches call, and whatever they do, I just go out there, and I'm the player. Coaches coach, and players play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a player, the coaches coach.
Look, coaching is about human interaction and trying to know your players. Any coach would tell you that. I'm no different.
I'm used to being coached. Something I learned long ago is that a coach is trying to make you better and to be the best version of yourself.
I think I'm pretty coachable. I do what coaches ask of me.
In high school I was on the basketball team, but the coach did something I didn't dig and the next day he looked up and saw me practising with the football team.
Man, coaching is a hard job, and it requires a lot of time... I hear stories from coaches who tell me that players call them in the middle of the night not knowing where they parked their car.
If someone remembers me as a coach, they still call me 'Coach,' but if they know me for the video game, they just call me 'Madden.'
I am a coach on the outside of the establishment and that works.
I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.
I've been around young, talented, non-coachable players. I've been around veteran, talented, non-coachable players. No matter what you do, sooner or later - even if a coach comes in that's able to connect with them - if that's who they are, they're going to go back to it.
