I never want to play timid or scared of anything, especially when my pitcher or my teammates are out there going 100 percent.
Aaron Judge
When I think about 2017, I feel like it was just another year. It was a whirlwind, but I wouldn't have wanted it to play out any other way. I'm glad I was in New York. There's nowhere else I would rather play, and there's no other group of teammates that I would rather be around.
I know a lot is expected of me, but I'm surrounded by some great teammates.
I want to be the best. I want to be counted on by my teammates. I want to be counted on by this organization and the fans. I want to be someone they know is going to bring it every single week. I prepare to be the best.
Aaron Rodgers
That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
I've gotten to learn what's important in life and what's not important, and what to spend energy on and what not to. I don't have a family like some of my teammates, but I have a lot of things pulling at me that I have to put my energy into.
I know my role on this team, and I'm expected to prepare and to perform every week and play well. I relish that opportunity - to be somebody the guys can count on week in and week out, to play really well. That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
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.
Abby Wambach
I have a unique ability to predict the flight of the ball, and my teammates have a unique ability to find me.
My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be.
At any level I'm not built with complacency. I think you see that in the way I play. The people that manage me know that, my teammates know that. I'm not built like that.
Adam Lallana
Growing up as a kid my father was British and a soccer player. His idol was a guy that passed the ball a lot, Stanley Matthews. Our family thought if you could be unselfish your teammates would always like you.
Adam Oates
As far as our fans are concerned, I'm the only one who counts; along with my teammates, obviously.
Alessandro Del Piero
I find my motivation from everyone who looks up to me and my teammates. From the little girls that look up to me and tell me they want to be like me when they grow up.
Alex Morgan
It is healthy to have competition and intense competition, and then, when you walk away from it, you are still teammates, and you play the same position and that we can still put the team first.
Alex Smith
You play for your teammates; you play for each other.
I enjoy the challenge of coming together with my teammates and playing well for them.
I've been in this league a long time. The league's not perfect. But I'm definitely proud of a lot of my teammates, coaches, trainers, owners.
I'm going to play for me and not play for anyone else except my teammates and the guys that matter.
If I have a bad game, coaches, teammates tell me not to worry, next game I'll score. When people tell you this, it makes you comfortable.
Alexander Ovechkin
I love the Capitals and my teammates here as much as I love my country and I know all the other NHL players feel the same for their teams.
People ask me, 'What were you thinking during that game-winning penalty kick in the 2011 World Cup?' I was actually thinking absolutely nothing. I just walked up there and was so inspired by my teammates who rocked all their PKs; they just killed it. I figured I might as well do the same, or they might have my neck.
I always get made fun of by my teammates for my huge calves, but I'm like, 'they make me strong and fast!'
I felt like the Germans were being mean to me at training, but they were actually just trying to help. I learned really quick - which made me a better player. I'm appreciative of the way they treated me. It's just the language and, of course, as an American, I had to learn that. No offense to them; I love them to death, and I love my teammates.
For me, I just set little goals for myself and stay on that kind of track and surround myself with positive people along with my teammates. I just kind of have my goals and my dreams, and this is something that we've all been working for our entire lives, so it is kind of easy to wake up and want to better myself every day towards that goal.
I heard there was a debate about fighting teammates, and if a fight should happen because the fans or promoter wants it, I will fight a teammate, but family is ridiculous.
That's the only thing that got me here is my teammates. My teammates and my coach. That's the only reason I'm here.
Any one of my shoes that I had, you knew that, night in, night out, I gave my teammates and my fans everything that I had.
That's what teammates are for. They encourage you through the good and the bad times.
The way I play is not to prove anybody wrong. It's to help my teammates win games.
I think, for me, I'm making the right plays and finding my teammates if I'm not open and finishing strong around the rim.
I owe a lot to my teammates.
There are a lot of guys who average a lot of points, but they make the game hard for themselves, and they make the game hard for their teammates, and that's why you never really see them win or get deep in the playoffs.
Philly will always have a special place in my heart, and I will cherish the great memories with the city and my teammates there.
I want to be successful in playing the game. I'm going to do my best to help myself and my teammates play in the best possible way and reach successful results.
All my ex-teammates didn't want to become coaches, yet they've all done it.
I think there's a lot to be learned from your teammates and older guys around you. And there are many ways to lead. You don't have to change your personality to be a leader.
When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up. We weren't very good, but we learned about hard work and enjoying life and your teammates.
I am very confident in my game, whether I'm shooting, driving or creating for my teammates.
My teammates trust me to put the ball in the basket when it counts.
Anybody who has ever watched me knows that I get my teammates involved, that I make them better.
I want me and my teammates to go as far as we can and to be the best players that we all can be.
Along with my teammates, we have a lot more great things to achieve, and we will continue to help PSG grow as a big club internationally. The support of all those that love this club will help us go beyond our own limits and defend our colours with passion and determination.
Seeing my teammates score, I love that. It is what I like about football.
Junior Seau's CTE finding raises a lot of issues for everyone. He is such a beacon. He was so young when he died. He was an active player for so long. He was such an amazing individual who was well loved by his teammates and his community.
I always feel happy for my teammates, but I'm not going to be the one at the top of the dugout yelling.
As long as I have the respect of my peers - the people I play against and my teammates - that's all I need.
Everyone goes through those stretches. Everyone you talk to in this game, old coaches, old teammates, old players, whatnot, they all have those, 'Oh, I was 0-for-25, I was 0-for-30 one time.' I just try to not to get it that far, get it to that point and take it one at-bat as a time.
The game has been great to me. The Steelers have been great to me, and I think things will work out and take its toll. But I'm just singularly focused on being a great player, being here around the guys and my teammates, and representing my family.
With my experience, I think I've earned that respect from the team and from my teammates.
