It's not tough at all as long as the fans are yelling, screaming and hollering.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Screaming is hard after a while.
I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.
I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat.
I wish I could say it's easy, but honestly, to get ready for a big championship is not as easy as it seems.
Players very widely disagree with me about what's hard and what's easy. and in a way, 'I won, but it was a fight' is the best compliment a game can receive.
It's hard and sometimes it's scary. It still amazes my mother. I went home for Christmas one year and there were fans all over the front lawn, hoping to see me.
When I watched the Premier League on the telly, I didn't expect it to be that hard. The opponents are all physically strong, real athletes. It wasn't like that in Germany. You must be prepared for it. But I prepared myself for it.
It's brutal out on the football field.
It's a tough world out there and all the guys are fighting hard and the competition is really tough.
Hockey is a tough game.
