“Patience. I will become what I know I am.”

Nothing of value comes without being earned.

A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.

If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

Live the moment for the moment.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.

I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.

Fortune befriends the bold.

I was thought to be “stuck up.” I wasn’t. I was just sure of myself.

Confidence comes from discipline and training.

To be able to make statements, you need to be confident about what you think. You need to have a sense of right and wrong.

Our confidence comes from our preparation.

The foundation of the world lies in the nation. The foundation of the nation lies in the family. The foundation of the family lies in the individual.

With greater confidence in yourself and your abilities, you will set bigger goals, make bigger plans and commit yourself to achieving objectives that today you only dream about.

The biggest thing is to have a mind-set and a belief you can win every tournament going in.
