When you look at traditions closely, examine what they really are, you realize they're made up of layers and layers of deferrals, delays, indecisions, tomorrows and long lunches.
A. A. Gill
I fell like I'm a well-rounded football player.
Aaron Donald
At the end of the day you never know what team still wants what player. You just never know with the draft.
I'm a football player, you know? My film talks for me.
Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time spots. That's who I want to be.
Any time you get a Hall of Fame player that even knows my name, you're going to be pumped up about that.
I'm just a football player.
The big-time player makes big-time plays in big-time games and that's what we need to keep doing.
There are a lot of good football players in the league. You just try to keep yourself grounded.
The mental game is what separates the good players from the great players. So anything I can do to get that mental edge to help me stay my best, I'm gonna try and do it.
Aaron Judge
You define great players as guys that are out there grinding, battling every day with their team.
When you come to a game, it's supposed to be fun for the players and the fans.
My drummer, bass player, and guitar player sing backgrounds. They play and sing. I can sing all the harmonies, but I can't do it alone.
Aaron Neville
I actually don't invest in anything that is social, mobile, deals or ad networks simply because those are areas where there are so many players and so many other smart people in the space, I feel like I don't have a competitive advantage. So I tend to go after things that are e-commerce, like healthcare.
Aaron Patzer
It's a massive difference when you play in front of full stadiums; you can sense the buzz around the players, and it helps us get that extra one or two per cent that may be the difference in games.
Aaron Ramsey
I went to many games with my dad, Kevin, and looked up to the players. It's surreal that now young fans are looking up to me.
I think there's always pressure at Arsenal to win trophies - it's nothing new - and to us, as players, we know what we are capable of doing.
Arsenal have a history of bringing through youngsters, giving them opportunities, and turning them into world-class players.
I'm a player who always gives 100 percent, regardless of what's going on.
I'm an Arsenal player, and I want to remain an Arsenal player.
It's always nice seeing a stadium when it's full, and as players, that's what we want to be playing in front of.
All I want to do is improve as a player.
It's quite strange looking down the list of players who've won the young player award in the past and then thinking I'm in there too now. There's some great names like Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy - and I can't miss out Chris Gunter - and it's a big boost to be included.
I want to keep on improving as a player and become the best... one of the best midfielders in my position in the world.
I watch a lot of golf, but I'm only a fair-weather player.
How you deal with adversity says a lot about the kind of players you've got and the kind of team we've got.
I hope I'm building a record of being a good team player and not just standing for my principles but being willing to work for them. I think when you do that and you work really hard, people take notice.
As a captain, I can't make the same mistake twice. As a player, you can get away with that, but if the captain does that, then it affects the whole team.
There are lots of mentally very tough players that I have played against and with.
The main lesson I learned from 2015 is that a World Cup doesn't define a player's career.
I believe I am strong mentally. My breaking points might be bigger than most players. I think it's because of the way I grew up with my two older brothers. They pushed my limits quite often - once every day, I think! I think that played a big role in my breaking point being bigger than most players. Not all players.
I truly believe that players who tell you they don't feel the pressure of international cricket, of being away from home for months at a time, are lying to everyone and themselves.
It's important to make sure your players have the mindset that playing international cricket is still the ultimate form of cricket.
I'll do whatever it takes for us to win games of cricket. If I have to sledge, I'll get involved like that. I'll try and intimidate a player if I have to.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see a person who's made the kind of impact that Mia Hamm made on the game. She's still my idol, the greatest player and the greatest teammate. She achieved so much in so many different ways. What she did for women's soccer can't be measured.
It's always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates, and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people's feelings.
I hope we can get to a point where women players are being paid properly all around the world so the only thing they have to worry about is playing football and playing football alone.
I always wanted to be more validated as a human being, as a person, than I was as a player. I think that was a really hard balance for me.
When you're younger and traveling and visiting new countries and cities, that stuff is exciting; it's flashy, it's shiny, but I always had this separation between who I was as a person and who I was as a player.
Soccer players generally burn through all of their carbohydrate stores by halftime, so how are you going to replace those? That's what we do at halftime.
As professional soccer players, we take our bodies to the extreme. We're the people at the gym that look like we're breaking the machines. Pushing our bodies to the limits is what makes us so strong and capable and Olympians. It's not an easy thing to consistently do over and over again to your body.
When I was really young, the women's national team wasn't on a grand media stage, so my role models were male basketball and male American football players.
I am very happy for all the players doing the Black Lives Matter bend the knee. We are all in the same boat.
Dubai's world class physical infrastructure has already established it as a major player in terms of trade, tourism and as the leading conference and exhibition venue in this part of the world.
I don't have any tricky plays, I'd rather have tricky players.
My music lives because of real players.
Gulaal' gave me a chance to channelise my restlessness into a character that had layers of complexity.
I reside in a new colony for the Chinese-singing banjo player, with a population of one. At least I have something I have to do with my life.
It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.
I'm still a huge Yankees fan. Growing up, Jeter was my guy, but Bernie Williams was my favorite player.
