I just try to make the right play, stay aggressive and defensively just do what I do. I make sure I talk to everyone and control the paint.
I'm able to see things and react certain ways, I try to slither through there and try to make a play.
The worst enemy of the strategist is the clock. Time trouble... Reduces us all to pure reflex and reaction, tactical play. Emotion and instinct cloud our strategic vision when there is no time for proper evaluation.
Combination is a soul of chess.
I learned to bat and bowl on different pitches and knew when to go hard and when to back off. It was just something I learned.
I don't think you would have missed that putt, but in these circumstances, I would never give you the opportunity.
That's the great thing about G.I. Joe: it's essentially superheroes, but it's military based - and it's based in reality.
Play the shot you've got the best chance of playing well.
Throughout my career, I've always loved hitting deep shots over the top. A lot of times, those plays just come to you. You don't want to force it.
My forte was the middlegame. I had a good feeling for the critical moments of the play. This undoubtedly compensated for my lack of opening preparation and, possibly, not altogether perfect play in the endgame. In my games things often did not reach the endgame!
It's not about the long ball or the short ball, it's about the right ball.

I'm not a person or a selfish player, but we have to move the ball more, and we have to look further the team game, because we have enough talent to use different players.

Scoring comes from being able to preserve what you've got and play your smart shots when you need to play them and not do stupid things and take advantage of things when have you them.

The game of football is one of strategy and tactics.
Football is a game of errors. You want to make your rivals commit them and to avoid them yourself.
Think of golf as chess. You have to think two or three moves ahead every time you hit the ball. Over every shot, you should be thinking, 'Where do I need to put this ball in order to make my next shot as easy as possible.
