Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you`re ready to play as tough as you`re able to, you`d better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you`re not giving it all you`ve go...
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It`s being able to take it as well as dish it out. That`s the only way you`re going to get respect from the players.
If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she`d get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don`t mean she wouldn`t pay the bank, but the children always came first.
Once you are labeled `the best` you want to stay up there, and you can`t do it by loafing around.
