I feel like the impact that you leave on others and your teammates and everybody around you is what’s most important.
Through hard work, passion and determination my teammates and I transformed TFC and made it one of the best clubs in MLS and in North America.
We expect our employees to care about the community, the company, their teammates, customers, and themselves.
I still love the preparation of the game. I think that actually helps you heal faster, still being around it; it keeps you motivated. It keeps you engaged, and I want to be around my teammates.
You play for your teammates; you play for each other.
I’m talking to my teammates and talking to the opponent. That’s the type of player I am.
Because we always have to wear a uniform to compete, my teammates and I look the exact same. My belt is the only accessory that I get to choose. I usually wear a yellow cloth belt with cherries or a leather belt with a beautiful tree buckle that I got at a thrift store.
I’m just trying to establish myself, play the game the right way with my teammates, have fun, make the right plays, and get adjusted to the pro game. It’s different from college. It’s a little bit faster, so I’m just trying to get as comfortable as I can on the court.
I’m lucky to play with Messi for the national team; I’ve learned many things. I can pick up a lot from him in terms of how he reads the play, how he thinks, how he sees the movement of his teammates. This will help me a lot for the future.
I love the game of football, love getting better. My teammates know me, and I show them who I am in the locker room and don’t change on the field.
I think I’m a good enough ball handler to bring the ball up the basketball court, and my teammates do a great job of getting open.
I’d never be a jerk with my teammates because I know I need them to be successful.
Once I feel like I know my teammates, know where everybody is going to be, being a basketball player will allow me to attack from anywhere on the court, get better shots and facilitate.
If I hit a bad punt, and some guys don’t make a tackle, and I have to make a tackle for them, that’s my opportunity to step up for my teammates.
I love my teammates and I’ll go out there and play for them, and that’s who I play for every night.
I feel like after my incident, it really made me realize football is not here forever. I’m all the more anxious to come out here and let my teammates know, ‘Look, hey, this is the same JPP. Missing fingers aren’t going to stop me from playing some ball.’
The old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.
You never talk bad about your teammates, doesn’t matter if you like them or not.
The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.
I’ll contribute any way I can, whether it’s cheering my teammates on or being in the game.
My teammates always have my back on the field, and I will do everything in my power to make sure I always have theirs.
I was diagnosed with asthma when I was 18 during my freshman year at UCLA. I refused to accept it – and I hid it from my coaches and teammates. But ignoring my problem didn’t make it go away.
Even when we go back to having meetings in person, we will continue to incorporate a lot of the things we learned in virtual meetings to make sure we get the right engagement from all of our remote teammates.
I want to stay in Boston. I want to be a Boston Bruin, and I want to continue to lead by example and share my experiences and my games skills with the younger players and my teammates.
I’ve got great relationships with all of my teammates regardless of who it is.
Some of the good teammates, when it comes for me, has always been someone who interacts with your teammates – movies, dinners, buses, planes, and so what I tend to do is, the older I’ve gotten, I actually hang out with more younger guys than I do older guys.
I think it speaks a lot to Coach Kidd and my teammates to trust me as a rookie to make plays down the stretch. When they put that confidence in you, it’s hard not to try to make plays.
Just every year, every day, I just try to better myself. What can I do better to make it easier for me and my teammates?
I don’t know why you play a team sport and not be concerned about making your teammates better and helping your team win games. That’s the only thing that really matters, and if you’re the best player, surely you’re going to have some effect on the game’s outcome.
I am proud of my heritage and have happily taken advantage of every opportunity to educate my teammates and Steeler Nation about American Samoa, both as a player and in the community, through the Troy and Theodora Polamalu Foundation Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation.
If I have a bad game, coaches, teammates tell me not to worry, next game I’ll score. When people tell you this, it makes you comfortable.
Trying to fit my strengths with my teammates’ strengths, utilizing everyone to the max, is really fun to watch and really a fun way to play.
That’s why you play the game. You play the game for your teammates, who really want to play with and for you.
I can deal with the criticism of myself. I get mad when people talk about my teammates.
Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates.
When your teammates trust you to make the right play, your confidence is building as every game goes on.
I have a good supporting staff around me and good teammates encouraging me every single day to perform on the field and to perform in training and I set high standards for myself as well knowing that Bayern Munich is one of the best teams in the world.
When I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, I was highly encouraged to move to Boston to train as a hopeful for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. I remember packing up my car, traveling out here to live with other teammates and share an apartment.
Every Hispanic player goes through that. It’s a lot of hard work, to be able to communicate with your teammates. English is fundamental to be able to express yourself fully in a game.
I just trust my teammates to be able to make the right play – I don’t have to score every time I have the ball, or shoot the ball every time I have it.
First, I’m just trying to set screens for my teammates and then just be aggressive, make the right play.
I know my teammates better than opponents know them. If I can see my teammate in one moment, I know where he’ll be in the next moment. I don’t need to see him again.
I don’t know, scene stealing is something I see as, people look at it, it could be a positive thing, but I really like to think of myself as a team player. It’s kind of like one player can make the other teammates better, kind of like Larry Byrd dishing off.
Pressure can make a diamond. Pressure makes me play better because I don’t want to let my teammates or my fans down, and that makes me play extra hard.
I just want to get some minutes to help my teammates and show what I can do.
As long as I have the respect and understanding of my teammates, that’s all that matters.
With my experience, I think I’ve earned that respect from the team and from my teammates.
As someone who loves being on the field with his teammates, it’s hard to hear that you’re not going to be the one playing.
Everyone is expecting something in each game I’m playing. I don’t have to score in every game, but I want to do my best. I want to give everything for the club, for my teammates, and myself also.
I’m really looking to facilitate, find my teammates.
You have to be able to recognize defenses on your own in pro football. You can’t look to the sideline and read some board. You’ve got to recognize the defense on your own, and then you’ve got to communicate to your offensive teammates what you want them to do.
I was a hockey player growing up. Being a big guy and being imposing, I had to use my size to protect my teammates.
It would be tough to fight any of my teammates.
Playing 16 years is completely unexpected and going through everything we went through. Big disappointments, huge wins, creating that type of union with the coaching staff, with the front office, with the staff, teammates. It’s been an amazing journey, way beyond anything that can be expected.
Some of my best experiences have been at KU and I’m thankful for my teammates, coaches and all the people that support KU.
It’s always interesting to be playing against some of my best friends and some of my longtime teammates. You get to see them before the game and after the game and it’s always nice to catch up but when the whistle blows it’s sort of all business on the field.
Teammates in all sports love to be acknowledged.
My routine prior to a big game is the same for any other match. Eat, sleep, chat with teammates during the day, and then, as the match draws near, I listen to my music on the trip to the stadium and zone in.
I was able to represent my country and put on the red, white, and blue – how many people in the world get to do that? Standing on the podium with my teammates, and being the first women’s gymnastics team to win this gold medal, it was life-changing!
