I just go into a game and try to look at the situation and what needs to be done. I try to execute.
I just love how fluid football has to be, how much time and energy it takes to practice and then taking it to the field and executing in a game situation.
At Kentucky, that was my job - coming off screens, catch and shoot, spacing the floor - no hesitations. Just go right into my shot - don't focus on the defender.
We know that if we play our game and execute, then we are going to have a lot of success.
I think as a play-caller, you have to just go out there, rely on your guys that you have that are out there, rely on the fact that they have ability. And as a quarterback, you have to go out there and just go through your reads.
If the batsman is playing good shots, you accept it, but it is important that we bowl according to what the plan is and not go off it.
Great execution. That's what you have to do when you're playing great teams.
You've got to trust your steps, trust your guys that are on the field with you, and when the ball is on the ground, you've got to do that every single time.
The more you know about your opponents, the more you learn how to beat them. Where the holes open to run through, blocking schemes, even down to player tendencies and what hand they like to carry the ball with.
Everyone's system in the NBA makes sense. It all comes down to the quality of player and the quality of execution.
Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I'm going to execute it.
Play the game right. If you play the game intelligently and execute the fundamentals, you can win.
I think the French teams sometimes doubt themselves. They play some beautiful games but, when it comes down to it, do not go through.
It's my job to run the offense and make sure everything goes smoothly.
A head coach has to be able to oversee all facets of the team and of the game.
Regardless of what you do, or who you have, at the end of the day you have to be able to execute better than the defense does in order to score points.
Fortunately, the way I play tennis, I don't have to spend too much time analyzing or worrying about my opponents. I typically try to focus on my own game, and I know if I do that and execute, I can beat anyone.
The key thing with any football player is, what can he do when he gets on the field.
I'm just going out there to do my role, the same role - defense first - and then see how the ball turns out on the offensive end.
I don't want to just be the guy to dump the ball off to or the guy who can do the checkdowns.
I just think repetition and getting the game reps shooting the ball in games really helps, rather than just practicing. You can get game timing.
Before 'Final Fantasy VII,' I would have told you that I had zero interest in RPGs with turn-based combat. But that game was so well done, I didn't care what genre it was. Any genre can be done poorly or done well.
You can come up with all the gameplans that you want but the guys in the middle have to execute those plans. If Jimmy Anderson or Stuart Broad serves up a leg-stump half-volley, you can't turn round and blame Andy Flower.
If he can basically prepare, be the starting quarterback, come in and execute and keep his head right, then I feel good about Weeden.
You still just got to play your game. No matter where you're at, you've got to play your game, especially in majors. When you try to push and try to make things happen, that's when you can make some big numbers at the majors.
