Owen Farrell Quotes

I take the role of leadership as the most important job I have. Yes, it's the passes and all the different things you have to do, but it's leading and it's in the huddle and it's in the weight room and the meeting rooms. It's that role I think comes first.

As captain, you take a little bit more on board than probably just being a player.

I am a great believer that a captain is as good as his team.

I think for me, or for anyone who plays the quarterback position, it's almost an unspoken word when you think about leadership. Some guys can be a leader and be a running back or a lineman, or wide receiver, strong safety, or linebacker. But when you speak of quarterbacks, it's automatically a default that you're supposed to be a leader.

I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn't try to run their lives.

Leadership is one of sports' intangibles. Guys can score, guys can fight, guys can skate faster than anybody else. But not everybody can say, 'Follow me.'

In managers, I look for people who can get things done through other people. The most important thing for a good manager is that the people on his team feel like he or she has integrity.

As a captain and as a player I wanted to lead the team well and score runs, because I know the team still depends on me very much.

I have been captain in the past and I know what it takes to gel a team and get it going.

Good captains know the strengths and weaknesses of their teams and make decisions accordingly.

Captains need to lead well and play within the laws of the game. There cannot be any compromise on that count.

As a captain, I just want to lead the team properly.

I want to feel the team is playing like I want. If not, why am I here?

I pride myself on being able to get the guys lined up on the team, and being a great teammate and also doing my job.

I have to put my team in a good situation.

I have really enjoyed the responsibility of leading the team and making the decisions out there.

As a captain, I am concerned about my team and how I perform. I have hopes from my own self and very high hopes from my team members.

The quarterback position is a role of leadership, and I feel just who I am as a person, I bring different types of leadership to the table.

As a captain, I can't make the same mistake twice. As a player, you can get away with that, but if the captain does that, then it affects the whole team.

The Leader will be a person with the management skills to coordinate the activities of the Team, and to assure that the Team remains faithful to the objectives of the incoming President.

When you are captain, you are never speaking for yourself.

You've got to coach worrying about your entire team: whether that gets you a championship or whether that gets you fired. I think it allows you to coach free. You're coaching with freedom because you know you're doing what you think is right.

If the national coach lets decisions be made from outside, he's lost the team.

As a manager, the more consistent you are, the better off you are. It's easy to be up when things go well. When things don't go well, the players will follow your lead. So you have to be consistent and upbeat, which takes some work sometimes.

I feel that a great coach is one that has a vision, sets a plan in place, has the right people in place to execute that plan and then accepts the responsibility if that plan is not carried out.
