I'm really pleased with WPS and the quality of players and the teams.
You win with people, not with talent. So the quality of the people is very important in building your team. I always looked for people with a solid value system. Then I recruited kids from a cross-section of different personalities, talents and styles of play.
When you're in a start-up, the first ten people will determine whether the company succeeds or not. Each is 10 percent of the company. So why wouldn't you take as much time as necessary to find all the A players? If three were not so great, why would you want a company where 30 percent of your people are not so great? A small company depends on great people much more than a big company does.
Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world. When you play in a team like this, you have more chance to show your performance.
The Celtics are an amazing franchise and a great organization to play with.
You're only as good as the people you have around you.
I'm afraid that if they bring the Sonics back, what kind of team are they going to put on the court? Are they going to put the effort out? If they bring the team back, are they going to really put a good team out there? Or do we just want any team?
I mean there's a hell of a difference between the Big Ten and the ACC when it comes to quality football.
In Kansas City, most of the time, if we'd have made it to the playoffs, we would have been happy. But our team wasn't that good.
In Empoli, I had a very young team, but the players were very young but very good.
I have a good team. It's good to have a good team.
When you compare Arsenal and City, it's not the same. With City, I'm playing in a better team.
If you don't have good people around you, it's going to be the worst thing for you.
While most philanthropists tend to flock together and build their teams around friends, family, or others who happen to be retired or with a lot of free time on their hands, a great entrepreneur knows that success is directly related to the quality and talents of their team.
I came to Philly not only because of the quality of the team and the organization, but also the fans, the passion - it's really palpable in that city.
You're only as good as the people you hire.
People wonder why I chose to come to Bolton. There's a different pressure and mentality here to PSG, where we were expected to challenge at the top every year, but look at our squad - quality throughout.
A German team could be quite good. But maybe they are a little bit too convinced that they are the best.
You have to give it to the Packers. They are a good team. They have a great offense and a great defense.
I think every league is good. Every league is pretty much the same: You got your top teams that are all very good, you got middle of the road teams that are really good and then you got your bottom of leagues that are all kind if fighting to get really good. I think it's pretty much the same across the board; I've said that for a long time.
I do think I have a thing or two to improve myself although it is difficult to reach your full potential at an average team.
In the long run of the league, the best team always wins.
We know St. Louis is a great club. They have been for a long time.
You look at any roster and you say, 'Geez, he's pretty good. He's pretty good. He's talented. He comes off the bench?' All of a sudden, it's, 'Geez, that's a pretty good roster they got right there.'
Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo are, of course, not what they were with Ronaldo, but they're still a very good team.
