I enjoyed practices at college. That is where you really get down and dirty and really get some development and see what you have.
When I don't play international cricket, I sharpen my skills at the NCA.
I don't do much relaxing. When I'm not giving a recital I practise.
Whenever I have played a game of cricket, whether it is under-16, under-19, or State level, my approach has been the same.
Teaching players during practices was what coaching was all about to me.
I train a lot. After training sessions, I like to stay with some balls and some goalkeepers - they help me a lot, too.
I was hired to be the head football coach, not the general manager.
Once you land a jump, you put it straight in the program. That's the way I've always been doing it.
Day-to-day training with world-class players, there is no better feeling than that.
When I joined a baseball club, the boys of my own age, and a little older, played in the first nine, those younger than myself played in the second, and those still younger in the third, and I played with them.
When I started to strike a lot back in the days I lost a little bit my jiu-jitsu. It's normal.
I have a little dojo in Clearwater called the Sai Dojo and I've just been putting in extra work there and so, when I get a chance to wrestle now, my comfort level in the ring is higher, my skills are sharper and I just felt like I couldn't have a better time to get these huge opportunities.
I bought a book with guitar tabs and forced myself to learn. I would go to school and then come home and sit in my room for hours figuring out the songs.
Being in the D-League, I might be able to get into a rhythm and start shooting the ball well and get some confidence and get some reps.
In Twenty20 it's not always about straight drives and high elbows. It's amazing how far you can hit the ball. I've always been able to hit the ball far but not consistently like I have in practice over here. I'm enjoying it so much.
When it comes to football, I always prepare like I'm going to be the guy.
Davis Cup helped me a lot. Being in that great atmosphere and having the chance to hit with top 50 guys everyday, being on the practice courts, that gave me a lot of confidence.
If I'm in a town for very long, usually I'll work out in the comedy club just to keep my chops or work out the beats on new stuff.
I started playing from the age of 11-12. I loved the game immediately but started playing the game seriously only in 1993-94.
I don't need to practise. The only thing I need to do is build up my match fitness.
The last couple of practices, all we've been doing is a lot of defensive things. We've been going over some drills that make all of us have to communicate.
I like doing drills and when coaches take you through drills and stuff, but I don't like counting shots and things like that. I just shoot until I feel good.
Any time you can go out and compete is better than getting on a practice court.
I have a lot of competitive juices, and I want to go out and compete on the football field every day.
If I could read it, I could play it.
