It is more difficult to stay on top than to get there.

There are always new, grander challenges to confront, and a true winner will embrace each one.

The person that said winning isn't everything, never won anything.

It is not sacrifice if you love what you're doing.

This is the last time I will get to play with this group of players. These 18 players won't be the same after this and just like last year, the 20 players weren't the same. Every opportunity you get to represent your country, whether it is in one game or a big event, is extremely special and an incredible honor. This tournament is no different. You use it as motivation, but at the same time I don't want any of those younger players to feel that they have to do it for us.
