I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
I don't think you can ever get bored or lose focus as a competitor.
Anything I do that's competitive, I try to win. That's the way I've always been, and I like to keep it that way no matter what I'm doing.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
What people see on court is another side of me; it's not me.
I love winning more than I love playing badminton. Winning is everything.
I always had that, even when I was a kid in a go-kart or when I was playing soccer or tennis: that need of winning. It was there all my life, and it's still there now.
I'm very competitive. If I have to 'turn it on,' I know how to. The switch isn't hard to find, don't worry.
It's a quality you need to be a world champion; you have to have that killer instinct.
I played guard my whole life, and liked having the ball in my hands.
I think there is so many elements of the culture of basketball that Jordan leads in and has been a leader over the years - from Michael's on court legacy to his work ethic, competitiveness, passion, and leadership.
Well, when you think of Dale Earnhardt, you think of determination. You think of grit. Just a blue-collar, working-class guy that got out there and fought for the checkered flag and fought hard for it. And I got so much out of him. He inspired me.
We try to pride ourselves in having a chip and being hungry every game.
On the pitch, I will always be like that. That's my character, and I will always compete and compete - always. I'm a different guy off the pitch, as you can see, but on the pitch, I will not change.
I've never been on the court and not wanted to play.
We need to go into every game believing we are going to win.
I am very, very hungry to compete.
I like every game to matter, to feel like we must win.
If you ask what's been my secret of success, most might say it's my God-given athletic ability to throw a football. While talent is important, it's not necessarily the most important thing. Thousands of talented people fail every day. My strength has been my will to win-that competitive fire inside.
I've always played with a high intensity anyway. That's how I've always been.
The love of this game has been with me since I heard the word basketball itself.
Great players always play with a chip on their shoulder no matter if they have a reason to or not.
I want to get in there and jump in the stands and dive for every loose ball.
