Kawhi Leonard Quotes

I don't really worry about what the defense is trying to scheme to do against me. It really doesn't matter.

The No. 1 thing is you want to be able to win the game, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to win the game.

I would always treat my attacking game as the more natural part. With defence, you have to get yourself in positions to understand the game and understand situations and that might not be as natural a thing.

My goal is always the same: to keep the other player from ever scoring a point. That doesn't always happen, but that's what I try for.

I think preparing every week like it's the most important game in the world makes things a little easier once you get in situations where a lot more people are watching and it might be a lot more important for people outside of the building.

For me, all I want to do is win. Whether I make a hundred tackles or one tackle, all I want to do is win and for the defense to perform well.

My approach is going to be all about winning games. All the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.

I've got the mind-set that I'm going to play as hard as I can, and I'm going to make the person guarding me work as hard as he can.

My attitude as a footballer was to always be prepared - make sure you're the fittest and know who you're up against. And that's exactly how I treat the media side.

I like to get physical on defense. I like to get up on a guy as much as possible. I actually need to calm down, though.

Just got to win games. You've just got to find ways to win games.

That's the only way you can stop a guy like Cam Newton. Hit him. He's unstoppable, so whenever he does try to run like a running back, you got to punish him.

When you're going out with the attitude that you want to win, you can't get caught up in the style of play.

It's a conscious effort for me to be aggressive and take what the defense gives you.

During the game, there has to be a moment where you have to set the tone. You have to let them know that you're a physical player.

Every time I step on the field, it doesn't matter who we're playing, I want to get an interception.

When I go out there, I try to do everything I can to win. That doesn't mean I have to score more than the other team; it may mean stopping the other team.

Every play, I'm trying to get as many shots on the opposing team as I can, so when you get to the fourth quarter, they obviously don't want to be on the field anymore.

People used to talk to me about that and say, 'Rom doesn't play with passion.' I do, but I don't show it too much because in my mind, I'm a guy that thinks a lot about how to win the game. Sometimes I let the emotions just come now, and it helps me.

Training is not the key. Head is the key. For me, it's head. How aggressive you will be. Who will attack first? But you need to be good in your head, and there will be no problem.

Fighting for me is a chess game. I'm not angry with my opponent. I just want to go in there and win.

Tennis is more than just shots. It's about being clutch and beating the people on the other side of the net.

A great defensive effort. The one thing we have to do is make it hard for people to beat us. We're not worried about winning and losing, we just have to make the game hard

I approach every match with that mindset, that this guy is trying to beat you, and it will change his life if he does.

I don't worry about infield shifts at all - you play where you're gonna play. I'm just gonna pitch my game.
