I just think in order for someone to understand my game, they have to watch me more than once, because I'm not going to do anything that's extra flashy or freakishly athletic.

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart; whenever I step on the floor, I play for that person.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

I talk to the players, either individually or as a group, what I'm feeling, and I think the players appreciate that. And I think they respond to that.

People look at me like I'm on my way out of the game. I'm just getting started.

When I play my match, I can't think about anything else except what I'm doing on my side of the net.

I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.

Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.

If I score a goal on the road, I come home, and that's probably the first thing I'm doing, pullin' up the laptop and watching. Can't watch it in front of the teammates, or else I'll get made fun of.

A game is like a mirror that allows you to look at yourself.
