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
Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time spots. That's who I want to be.
Aaron Donald
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.
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.
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.
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.
How you deal with adversity says a lot about the kind of players you've got and the kind of team we've got.
Aaron Rodgers
There are lots of mentally very tough players that I have played against and with.
AB de Villiers
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 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.
Abby Wambach
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.
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.
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.
What I think is important for us as players is to always stay on our toes and be critical to everything being said.
That's the great thing with Lyon: we are such a competitive group of players, but we know each other so well, so what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch.
I feel like Josh, Michelle and Adam were all team players, who wanted to be a part of an ensemble.
I was very lucky to have fantastic leaders before me in Paul Kelly, Leo Barry, Brett Kirk, Craig Bolton, Mick O'Loughlin and Stuart Maxfield, and all of those players led in completely different ways.
In terms of tone and style, I've always been influenced by a lot of different players. I love Nick Drake, Mike Bloomfield and Sonic Boom. I like those three a lot!
The Heartbreakers were what you imagine being in a band would be like - best buddies and great players and guys who took it all really seriously.
We want to progress and ultimately win something. You can't do that with 11, 12 or 13 players, you need a squad.
I want the best players to be linked with Liverpool and coming to Liverpool.
The feeling Klopp gives to the players... you want to run for him.
Roku collects money two ways: by selling hardware, which it calls 'players'; and by selling advertising and taking a cut of revenues from the video publishers on its platform.
Assistant coaches become a little bit more buddies to the players than a head coach.
Andy Chase and I were keyboard players originally, and we became guitarists later. But it's fun for us to focus more on the keyboard stuff sometimes.
It doesn't matter what play is called, you have to run that play and you have to be successful on it. It just comes down to execution, all 11 players doing the right thing.
The players have got to make the plays.
Will it make the game safer for people by moving the extra point back to a 43-yarder? If anything, players are going to rush harder because they're thinking, 'That far of a field goal-type try, we have to go after blocking it more.'
I know my game is about trying to get past players and I know that if a bad tackle is coming my way, I have to jump or push my body out in front, but this is football. If they try to foul and target me, then I'm doing something good.
The most important thing for me was talking to players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Javier Mascherano - they would tell me about the life away from football. All I wanted to do was play football but they explained how important everything is away, how you prepare and live your life.
All Spanish players want to play for the national team.
Players like Messi and Xavi are always hungry. Whatever the game or the competition - even if it is table-tennis - they want to win. We used to play two-touch football games after training and they would always be desperate to win. It taught you about life as well as football.
If the opposition puts two or three players on me, it means that some of our other players are free. If I can play like that, then it is better for the team.
I get asked a lot about players like Lionel Messi and Neymar and people seem to have the idea that they don't do any work because they have a God-given talent. That is just not true, they work all the time, they are totally dedicated and that's why they are where they are.
As players we have to be careful what we put out there and make sure everything we do is appropriate. And it is not always easy.
I'd always been one of the strongest players in the game, but officially in 'Fifa 14' I was the strongest in the world. If they say so, I must be. I like that.
