Golf is a matter of confidence. If you think you cannot do it, there is no chance you will.
When I have the ball at my feet, I'm in different world.
Talent is talent, and everybody knows somebody who has talent or ability, but they never really converted it into a productive performance for whatever reasons.
They're like, 'Oh, you did a...' and I'm like, 'I did a what?' No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go, 'It's called a...' and I'm like, 'Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.'
I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
When you get into competition and get under pressure, and get over that ball and are looking at it, and know you have to hit it, it is having that system to depend on to get that ball to where you want it to be.
Coaching a football player is the same as directing an actor. The guy has to follow orders and be able to perform skillfully.
When I'm out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I'm doing.
It's one thing to have talent. It's another to figure out how to use it.
I'm so grateful that I can play and that I can execute what I hear in my head, because that's the tricky part.
Sometimes fitness is a good thing to have, but you have to recognise that fitness takes you only so far, and skills are the most important thing. Fitness just helps you execute those cricketing skills for longer and more consistently, maybe.
In order to win, you must play your best golf when you need it most, and play your sloppy stuff when you can afford it. I shall not attempt to explain how you achieve this happy timing.
A lot of performance is based on confidence, knowing what you're doing, and being familiar, and not thinking too much and trying to play at confident game speed.
I'm real particular about delivery. You can write the illest rhymes in the world, but can you deliver it right?
Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I'm going to execute it.
While it may not have been the flashiest or the most creative, I brought a very unique skill set, and I executed in a fashion that very few have done before me and, I think, very few will do after me.
If you want to be the best gymnast in the world, you have to love the moment. Every single moment that you are competing. Every skill, you have to be showing it off. If you aren't showing it off, what are you doing?
Sports and music are the same thing to me. When done wrong, they are really frustrating; when done right, they can change your day.
I'm pretty excited when I get a good kick up in the air and our wings start chasing, because I know it's a 50-50. When you kick well and compete well, the odds fall on our side.
When, you know, when you're playing basketball, you have to have confidence in your moves if they're gonna work.
Some guys practice like all-Americans but they can't play!
As a busker, one thing that does not work is self-consciousness. A busker needs to be working. A busker needs to shed all ego and get down to work. Play your songs, play them well, earn your money, and don't get in people's way.
It was like a musician playing notes. Everything we trained worked.
It's one thing trying it in training and another entirely on the pitch.
You have to have the brain to conceptualize technique and apply it to your body.
