I never left the field saying I could have done more to get ready and that gives me peace of mind.

The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.

You should never stay at the same level. Always push yourself to the next.

I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.

When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!

If you think you’re done, you always have at least 40 percent more.

Don’t be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed.
