Inspirations

An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.

Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail.

Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.

If you have everything under control, you're not moving fast enough.

What to do with a mistake: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.

For me, I'm focused on what I want to do. I know what I need to do to be a champion, so I'm working on it.

If you are different, or you have minimum possibilities, you can still succeed. I am living proof of that.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.

If you don't lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. So I have to accept both things.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

Concentration is a fine antidote to anxiety.

First of all, convince yourself that you are the best because the rest of your life is going to go proving this to others.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

Once you are satisfied with your goal, it is the real happiness.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
