I grew up in a town with a great wrestling tradition. Then I was a team sport queen in high school; I played softball, volleyball, and soccer. Oh, and I also did ski racing.

Alex Morgan
This is the ultimate team sport, and I really feel that the quarterback position is the epitome of that.
Alex Smith
There are no excuses in fighting. You can be playing a team sport and have a good game, and you can lose. In fighting, it's all on me. If I go out there and lose, then it's my fault. I like that.
Alexander Volkanovski
We've got a great team sport, but we harp on about individuals. It's a bit contradictory.

Alvaro Morata
I think football is a team sport.
Ander Herrera
I'm a team player. I've, you know, played team sports my whole life, at least as a kid. And I believe that you have to subordinate yourself to the greater good of the team.
Anthony Scaramucci
I believe in work, in connections between the players, I think what makes football great is that it is a team sport. You can win in different ways, by being more of a team, or by having better individual players. It is the team ethic that interests me, always.
Arsene Wenger
I had never played a team sport when I was younger.
Ashleigh Barty
It is tough when you're by yourself, and I think that's why team sport is so appealing.
For me, growing up, I'd always been a part of team sports, except for when I was boxing.
Baron Corbin
Football is a total team sport.
Bill Cowher
I want kids to continue to enjoy our game and benefit from the rewards of playing the ultimate team sport. That's why it's important for young players, parents, and coaches to know about U.S.A. Football's Head Up Football program.
There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.
Billie Jean King
I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
When somebody asks about the greatest players in history, I start with Bill Russell. More than the best player is the MVP, and the MVP in the history of team sports is Bill Russell.
Bobby Knight
When you play a team sport all your life, you need to get out there sometimes and show some individualism in a sport where you play against the nature.
Brian Lara
I enjoyed being involved in team sports and making close friendships.
Brian McBride
Team sports are very important for shaping personalities. It's important that kids understand the mentality behind playing team sports and playing for one another and playing with friends.
The great thing about playing team sport is you win and lose together, and the pain is never as bad when you share it.
This is a team sport.
As a competitor, you always want to receive the best rewards. But you understand that it is a team sport, and you understand the better your team plays, the more you are rewarded.
Think of the difference between a team sport and one that you do by yourself. Like it or not, if you're by yourself, you're going to be faced with a lot more of your own doubts and your own drawbacks and your own whatever.
I can't predict the future of football. I don't think it'll go the way of boxing because it's a team sport. It's built into our education systems, the flagship for a lot of universities' fundraising campaigns. So no, I don't think it'll go away.
I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.
I've learned so much whether it was, I played a lot of team sports, so being part of a team, learning how to be a leader on different teams, and how to deal with the ebb and flow of different games.
Togetherness is huge. I just can't see anybody getting results in team sport without being together.
I've been playing team sports since I could walk... so anything sports-related story is always fun for me.
My uncle played rugby, and my dad played football, and they used to argue which game was the roughest - and everybody agreed rugby was. It's a great team sport, and to be successful, every person has to play in the same level.
I don't care what you do in life. To say that that year I was the absolute best, especially when you're in a team sport - and I have more of a personality that I wished I would've played an individual sport - to win a championship, to get 60 people and focused in one direction and do it over a seven-month period is phenomenal.
It's kind of interesting on a team sport because you have young players, you have older players, you have veterans. But ultimately, when you step in between those lines, you're just a player.
The reality is this: Fighting isn't a team sport; it's an individual's sport.
Poker is not a team sport. It's every man for himself. It's perfectly okay to root for your buddies and hope they do well, but when it's time to play the game, you have to give it your all. All by yourself, that is.
Starting out so young meant missing out on a lot of things that kids do, that your friends are doing, whether it was playing team sports or school dances with friends. I remember having fights with my mother when I was young about 'Why can't I just go have frozen yogurt with my friends after school and go hit on the girls at the library?'
I like the individualism about it. I like how each player is kind of different. It's a team sport, but still, once you've got the ball in your hand, you can kind of create things. But I like the team dynamic about it also. You've got to work together in soccer to score a goal.
Two things are always happening in acting. On the one hand, it's a team sport. We're all pulling together. But on the other, you have to look after your own character. Guard their interests.
A team sport is not very good for me, because I can't take losing.
Football is a team sport, and each person plays a role - this is what counts.
Some teachers feel that if they ask for emotional help, they're a failure. But teaching is a team sport.

When I'm playing a team sport, it's not about one individual, it's about everyone, from me to the other 23 people who were there, to all the support staff who've worked very hard behind the scenes.
I would never tell anybody to give up hockey - the great sports we have here - basketball, lacrosse - rugby coming into its own - we've got so many great team sports, and I say hold on to them.
Everyone in the world of cycling knows how much it is a team sport as well as individual. It's just amazing to be a part of.
