You need to make sure you’re doing everything you possibly can, not just on the field but off it, to give your team an advantage – from having a sleep expert coming to talk to your team to having an independent analysis of your team done.
Jill Ellis
It is great to know that the lives and careers of country music’s artists are being documented through the Hall of Fame’s expert archival and curatorial resources.
Marty Stuart
Nobody ever becomes an expert parent. But I think good parenting is about consistency. It’s about being there at big moments, but it’s also just the consistency of decision making. And it’s routine.
Sebastian Coe
When I fly in a helicopter, I insist there be two sets

When I fly in a helicopter, I insist there be two sets of controls, one for me in case something happens to the pilot. I’m no expert, but I know enough to at least get the thing on the ground. Nothing scares me like the thought of not being in control.
Jack Nicklaus
I know a lot about the Titanic. My dad was a Titanic expert.
Paul Rudd
As a freelance writer, I’d be asked to become an expert for various magazines on any subject, whether food or wine or history or the life span of veterinarians. I was completely unschooled in any of these things.
John Hodgman
When you’re an expert in a subject, you can retain new factoids on your favorite topic easily. This only works for the subjects you’re truly passionate about, though. Baseball fans can reel off stats for their favorite players, then space out on their own birthday.
Clive Thompson
Life’s tricky for women because they have to make more choices than men. And yes, choice is good, but boy, you better be an expert choice-maker.
Marcus Buckingham
I’m not really a relationship expert but… I’m an expert on manhood and what men think.
Steve Harvey
The politician and the government expert receive their revenues, not from service voluntarily purchased on the market, but from a compulsory levy on the populace. These officials, therefore, wholly lack the pecuniary incentive to care about serving the public properly and competently.
Murray Rothbard
I’m not an IT expert myself.
Ajit Pai
And in Hollywood, you know, everyone is an expert. Most of them are expert editors. They can’t direct, they can’t write, they can’t act, but, by God, they all think they can edit.
John Frankenheimer
Theatre is about people, not buildings. Incalculable damage has been done to the expert talent a company needs – from wardrobe to lighting technicians.
Edward Hall
Businesses should absolutely set aside funding in their budgets for security consultants. Unless there is an expert on staff, and there usually is not, it needs to be outsourced.
Kevin Mitnick
Entering public life as a woman – be it as a politician, journalist, expert or activist – makes you the target of the most sinister threats, abuse and language.
Gina Miller
I feel like it’s a bit of a misconception that all actors have to be expert martial artists if they’re Asian.
Simu Liu
Science blogs bore me. When everyone is an expert, no one is an expert.
Leonard Susskind
When you’re a member of Congress, you can become an expert in a couple of subjects. For example, I’ve worked on federal procurement reform, the Armed Services Committee, manufacturing, and women’s health care.
Tammy Duckworth
Anyone who says he is an expert in the market is lying to you. There is no such thing.
Mark Cuban
It would be crazy to write a movie – which, I’ve seen these movies before – where someone is a beginner, has their training montage, and all of a sudden, they’re an expert.
Riley Stearns
The favorite thing I like to do is nothing. I’m such an expert at doing nothing. I have a boat. I make training films for the Coast Guard. I listen to a great deal of opera.
Charles Nelson Reilly
Ask any rapper or singer what artist they are an expert on. What artist are they looking to emulate, and really, what artist is the one person they are an expert on? You see, if you want any kind of longevity, if you want any kind of legacy, you need to know what ancestral line you are from.
KRS-One
I don’t look at a man who’s expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.
Conor McGregor
I am speaking as a Republican now, not a national security expert, but I believe that my party needs to come together.
Michael McCaul
I talk about myself. That’s what I am. I’m a blogger. I have always decided that I was going to be an expert on one thing, and I am an expert on this person, and so I write about it.
Mena Grabowski Trott
In seeking a lawyer, you are looking for an advocate, an expert advisor on the law and on your rights and responsibilities, a strategist, a negotiator, and a litigator.
Laura Wasser
Being in love, and I’m not an expert in this, I’ve lived it as much as anyone has, but I’ve not dissected it.
Eric Braeden
From his lifetime of experience as a turnaround expert in private equity to his experience with the turnaround mission of the Olympics to his successful term as a blue state GOP governor, Romney can point to a record of bipartisan leadership and achievement that Obama can only talk about.
Margaret Hoover
I’m not really much of a video game player; my son would be the expert in that department. The only game I would really play is golf, the Tiger Woods video game.
Richard Roundtree
The point of a mental health first aider is to be a champion for good mental health in the workplace, to provide a safe port-of-call for anyone wanting to talk about their mental health, and to offer signposting to available expert advice and professional services.
Luciana Berger
Most of these experiments required the reduction of the cosmic ray muon flux in order to be successful, and the group necessarily became expert in the operation of deep underground laboratories.
Frederick Reines
As an expert, I can deal with complex problems. As a mother it is much, much harder.
Rosalind Wiseman
Studying music in a conservatory would be stifling for me, although I respect people who can do it. And by no means am I an expert at notating music or music theory – that’s not really my world.
Beck
I’m not an expert, but I want to be.
Ben Nicholson
I ride horses once in a while, but I'm no expert. I hol

I ride horses once in a while, but I’m no expert. I hold on for dear life.
Emily Robison
If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can’t be done.
Peter Ustinov
I’m in politics, but I’m not an expert in politics.
Matt Mead
I shoot occasionally, but I’m no gun expert.
George Pelecanos
Mainstream news covers war and gets everything wrong. I’d rather learn what’s happening from soldiers with combat experience. It’s like a former NFL player giving play-by-play. We bring the expert commentary.
Brandon Webb
Healthy debate has been replaced by automatic sensors that eliminate the need for actual talking during a filibuster – a la ‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.’ Robust debate is necessary in a democratic society. Instead, our discourse has been relegated to media spin by expert entertainers.
Douglas Wilder
I’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure that I even believe in the idea of ‘parenting experts.’ I’m an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I’m an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure.
Brene Brown
I am an expert at applying premade pesto to pasta.
Aaron Dessner
My job is to hire the best and brightest employees and empower them to do their best work. As a manager, I am not a mind reader nor an expert at every job function. Therefore, it is incumbent on all hires to feel empowered to tell me what resources they need to do their job.
Jay Samit
It’s amazing how one introductory course in environmental science can turn a 20-year-old into an Biofuels expert.
Sean Evans
The attention span of children may be one of the main reasons why an immersion in on-screen reading is so engaging, and it may also be why digital reading may ultimately prove antithetical to the long-in-development, reflective nature of the expert reading brain as we know it.
Maryanne Wolf
Look, science is hard, it has a reputation of being hard, and the facts are, it is hard, and that’s the result of 400 years of science, right? I mean, in the 18th century, in the 18th century you could become an expert on any field of science in an afternoon by going to a library, if you could find the library, right?
Seth Shostak
Every man gets a narrower and narrower field of knowledge in which he must be an expert in order to compete with other people. The specialist knows more and more about less and less and finally knows everything about nothing.
Konrad Lorenz
I am the foremost expert on what Cory Stewart believes.
Corey Stewart
I don’t make films, and because I don’t make films, I’m not an expert in the craft of bringing a film into the world, how you put its various pieces together. But where I feel like I’m an expert is my own feelings in response to a film.
Leslie Jamison
I’m not a chef, and I’m not an expert at anything. I’m just a mom and a wife.
Ree Drummond
As of today, we do not need expert reports by the authoritative analytical institutions to realise that the reasons for such a situation in our community lie in global inequality, poverty and illiteracy.
Nursultan Nazarbayev
I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them – I should say – are expert at that.
Seth Gordon
