We were pretty darn good - fit and ready to play - but today's level is different. Those ground strokes are ever so much faster, coming back at you at a pretty good speed. Footwork-wise, you've got to be ready to hit that next shot. It's a tough time.

Rod Laver

At 15 I was very clumsy, big feet and my footwork wasn't great. I was definitely not quick.

Alex de Minaur

Personally, I always try to focus on the little things in my game. As a defender and attacking outside back, I continuously work on completing passes, not being too predictable going forward into the attack, good services into the box, good positioning and footwork.

Ali Krieger

I have the skills to box and not get into a war. I've been getting punishment I shouldn't be taking because, sometimes, I'm too brave for my own good. When I've got good footwork and movement, I should use them.

Amir Khan

I'm an orthodox fighter, relaxed, fast, and powerful. And I've got good footwork.

Amir Khan

I work out a lot, but it changes day to day. I always start out with some cardio - either a jog, a bike ride, or footwork drills designed specifically for tennis movement. Then I do weights, but I switch the days: one day it's upper body, the next day it's lower body. Then I do stomach and back pretty much every day.

Ana Ivanovic

I've been working on my footwork a lot.

Andre Drummond

I dazzle you with that footwork.

Bobby Darin

We were in Philadelphia when Manager Pat shifted me from third to short, and right off the bat, I knew I had found my dish. Footwork was more a part of the new position than it had been at third. I suddenly felt I had sprouted wings. A world of new possibilities opened for me.

Bobby Wallace

Hassan N'Dam is a very good fighter, he's very experienced and been around a long time. He's got good footwork, very good movement.

Callum Smith

Be real with yourself in whatever area of your life and your game that you need improvement on. Once you figure that out, you just have to go out and work on it. For me, it's footwork. I constantly work on it, and it's a never-ending process.

Calvin Johnson

Froch is like a train who just comes forward but Groves will move about, fake and feign and his good footwork is a big part of his game.

Chris Eubank Jr.

I've learned new footwork patterns that are very unusual. I've learned how to find a lower centre of gravity, and I've found more angles to throw shots.

Conor McGregor

Even if I'm not a big guy, I have good footwork, I'm fast on the court, and I see the ball really early.

David Goffin

I don't have the same serve speed as some of the guys, but I have good footwork, and I take the ball early.

David Goffin

A lot of people might sit back and watch Dominick Cruz doing his footwork, and say, 'Oh, Dominick Cruz just dancing around, and he runs away.' It's a totally different atmosphere until you get in there, and you actually experience it.

Demetrious Johnson

There's a lot of things I can get better at as far as my footwork, being quicker, getting in and out of the hole, getting north and south.

Derrick Henry

Obviously, you look at footwork and things of that nature, but that's not just at my position. That's from everyone.

Donovan McNabb

I didn't study dance. I had some ballet lessons because I needed it for posture and for my arms, mostly. My skating coach said I really needed it, from the belly button up, as opposed to the footwork. In skating, the shoes don't move.

Dorothy Hamill

Soccer helped especially with my footwork. When I played soccer, I was on offense scoring goals - I didn't pass the ball so much so it probably didn't help much with being a point guard.

Goran Dragic

The level of difficulty in most areas of MMA is very high. It's a high learning curve. The footwork in boxing alone takes years to master. I will rely heavily on my amateur wrestling to get out of bad situations and take me from defense to offense. I'll try to dictate the fight on my terms.
