“You don’t show up on game day and expect to be great. Greatness happens in practice. You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”

The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.

I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.

I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me. Failure always made me try harder next time.

It doesn’t matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart.

Patience. I will become what I know I am.

To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.

If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.

Failure makes me work even harder.

There is no “I” in team but there is in win.

Once I made a decision, I never thought about it again.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

Learning is a gift, even when pain is your teacher!

There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles.

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.

The gender stereotypes introduced in childhood are reinforced throughout our lives and become self-fulfilling prophesies. Most leadership positions are held by men, so women don’t expect to achieve them, and that becomes one of the reasons they don’t.

Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

This is impossible to predict. War may break out unexpectedly.

I think about more than I forget, but I don’t go around fire expecting not to sweat.

If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent.

If I disappoint someone, it’s their loss for putting that expectation on me when they don’t know me. I can’t control what they want.

How do you expect the Germans to revolt when they don’t even dare walk on the grass?

No one sat me down with a piece of paper and said, This is what is expected of you. But I’m lucky enough in the fact that I have found my role. I love being with people.
