Perhaps... I mean there are people who defend that it as an art. I don't. I like it but it's not an art form as far as I'm concerned, and yet it's a similar thing, once you can't land those jumps, you're disqualified - that precludes it from ever becoming a serious art form.
In terms of merit, sports has mathematical statistics. That's how you know who the best player is.
Jessie Vargas is not as good as those guys I lost to.
I was definitely nervous for the combine. You train for three months to go out there and perform for three days.
People say, 'Pep won in Barca, but it was boring,' or, 'Pep won in Bayern, but it was boring.' I understand that. But games won, goals scored, goals conceded, titles... sorry, guys, it was good!
I think coaches should get the same amount of credit in victory that they get in defeat.
The reason I didn't take the baseball route is because they don't have rankings for baseball players.
I don't know much about Mauresmo apart from the fact she played great tennis. Is she a good technician? I don't know those parameters.
She'll be evaluated like any other Double-A umpire. Major League Baseball has never attempted to influence our decision
I think a player should be evaluated for what he does on the playing field.
A combine is a series of athletic tasks that help a coaching staff measure an athlete's ability to be competitive in a sport. A bobsled combine requires a sprint, broad jump, two-handed shot toss, and a back squat and power clean.
Success in football is relative. If you take a job at a school that finished with a 1-9 record the year before, you're considered a good coach if you finish 5-5 in your first season. But what happens if you start with 8-2 or 9-1?
There are a lot of three and four-star guys undervalued because of intangibles.
To compare players at different stages in their career shouldn't happen.
If you can play football, you can play football. Measurables at the combine don't change that.
That's kind of a leap, but the Russian judge gave you a nine point five for style, so okay.
