Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.

Somebody said the key to life is to work hard, play hard, rest hard, and I've pretty much adopted that.

If you ask me about my success story, the secret is I know when to pull myself back. I don't overexpose myself; I give proper gaps whenever I can.

I just take on what I can commit to completely at that point in time, and that way you'll be able to give your best.

I always got my work done before playing.

Just put football first, or your job first. Give everything you've got all week, work hard, work super-hard to take it to the next level every week.
