John Daly Quotes

It's all about practice and more practice. Travel to tournaments, play in them, watch other players.

In those one-off games, everyone can do those, but you put together a six, seven-game tournament, the strong survive. For me to still feel good from beginning to end, that's a testament to how I train and what I do.

It happens throughout the year where your swing feels better, or it feels worse; you feel good, you feel bad.

As an international cricketer, you have to keep reinventing the wheel, being consistent is part of it.

Very often, you can go into one game and do really well, and then you have to find that level of performance so quickly again.

It's always nice to be on the practice field because, ultimately, practice is the most important thing other than the game because that's where you gain your confidence; that's where you get your fundamentals.

It's very hard because the sport evolves so fast, changes so fast. So, you have to be there to see the changes that are happening in the moment. That's why I keep training every day. I try to mix myself in all of the academies.

I want to improve every part of my game.

I can't be getting off my game. I need to be getting teams off their games.

You can play perfect football, lots of one-touch stuff, and you lose. But that's not what you want, you want to win.

Maybe I wish I could be out there on the big occasions playing like I did at my peak, but I certainly don't miss the six and seven hours a day practice that went hand in hand with being world champion in the nineties - or losing to guys knowing that it would never have happened when I was at my best.

Some weeks, I'll go super-hard at practice for two straight days, but then the third day, something happens away from basketball, and I'll lose focus. I'll say, 'I just want to get through practice. I don't want to conquer it today.' But then I'll go home and realize I missed a chance to get better, and it'll bother me.
