I was on some bad teams, and I played bad as a young player, certainly, at times. And that all mounts. Yeah, that all mounts. The perception. Everything that goes into that.

Teams are trying to get the advantage over the other team by what kind of reads we can get, how can we measure guys if they’re tired – all these things.
Their practice habits are terrific. I’ve been around some really good guys from different teams in terms of bringing it to practice. When I was in San Francisco, Bryant Young was that way. Every practice on it.
If you have Real to face, you have to think about them – they are one of the best teams in the world.

Sometimes it’s tougher against bad teams because you can’t really get a read on them.

Broadway shows in New York draw two times the attendance of all New York sports teams put together.
It’s almost impossible to explain how little the NBA amounted to when I started covering it in 1963. It wasn’t fair to call it bush, although everybody did. It was simply small – only nine teams – and insignificant.
A lot of companies have teams, but they are not really independent. They still have to get stuff approved by the boss. You have to change how and where decisions are made. If the hierarchy makes the decision, it will be based on politics.
First of all the name, and the color purple, I think those two things distinguish the Vikings as much as anything. You go anywhere in the country and say ‘Vikings,’ they know exactly where you are. You say ‘Cardinals,’ well, Cardinals who? There are a dozen Cardinals teams in the country in professional and amateur sports.
Mourinho’s teams work especially hard, all the players. He has a special, winning mentality, so it is always difficult to face teams that Mourinho manages.

If you look at Barcelona and the way they press high, or Bayern Munich, the way they press high… that’s what makes them the best teams, because when they lose the ball, in the first three seconds, that’s when they get the ball back, really, really high.

I played soccer for 12 years on three different teams at a time.
The first time I played against Seattle was the only time I felt destroyed. Vin Baker just manhandled me. The whole thing, their double teams, their movement, everything. I must’ve had eight turnovers. Which isn’t a big deal for me because I turn the ball over a lot.
I think the French teams sometimes doubt themselves. They play some beautiful games but, when it comes down to it, do not go through.
African soccer has grown to the extent that the majority of its players are playing for European teams and that is very good as they are becoming role models for the youngsters on the continent.
Great execution. That’s what you have to do when you’re playing great teams.
I’m a numbers guy, and I think numbers sometimes tell stories and sometimes they don’t. When you look at the NBA, when teams shoot 45% or better from the floor, what is their record? And if they shoot under that what is their record?

I would like to see Premier League teams play in Ligue 1 so we could see how good they are.
I love being in the present. When I was playing for my school, the only thing I wanted to do was get selected for the under-16 or the under-19 district teams.

When there’s a clear vision, and you’ve got the creative teams working toward that goal, each on their own, it can then come together quite elegantly at the endpoint.
In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice – either teams don’t want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can’t do it – for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.
I was into all of the Pennsylvania teams at some point in my childhood. I would flip back and forth between the Pirates and the Phillies, and I was always a Steelers fan but not much of an Eagles fan. Then I became kind of a band nerd in school, and I went the music route.
It is good to play strong teams.
At issue when professional sports teams take the name of Native Americans is the problem of mimicry: having appropriated the land and wealth of America’s vanquished peoples, settler culture then appropriates the supposed values and spirit of the vanquished as well.

These are Canadian and United States intelligence and law enforcement offices who are working in teams and who are using good intelligence and good law enforcement to really stop the criminals and terrorists before they ever get to the border.
A sportswriter’s life means never sitting with your wife or family at the games. Still working after everyone has gone to the party… Digging beneath a coach’s lies, not to forget those of athletic directors and general managers and owners of pro teams. Keeping a confidence. Risking it.
It’s not about big markets or small markets. It’s not about dominant teams or not. It’s about the actual competition and how good the games are, how good the series turn out. That’s what I think is the most important for fans.
Football is definitely present in the tennis world. Given the mix of nationalities that exists in the changing rooms, there’s inevitably a bit of a rivalry between the players, especially in terms of the UEFA Champions League or competitions in which national teams compete.
To be a great game, one of the teams has to score first.

At Warby Parker, we use the survey platform Culture Amp to take employee engagement surveys that help us become ultra-responsive to the needs of our teams.
Smaller markets teams, when you hit bottom, you hit with a thud.

I have great respect for the Premier League, for the teams, and the great players there.
You look at some of the top teams in the world that have got the best strikers, and they are looking to buy another top striker. But if you have got a top goalkeeper, you are not often looking to buy another goalkeeper.

I have scored some big-time goals. I’ve done well in Algarve Cups. I’ve done well in World Cup and Olympic qualifiers, Olympics. In big games when we’re playing top-five teams. But yet, you never see my face or my name out there. And it has frustrated me my entire career.
When teams are dropping off, it’s difficult, especially as a striker. You always have two centre-halves behind you and maybe a sitting midfielder as well. It’s a bit more difficult creating chances.

When you have bad teams, you’ve got to be creative to win games you’re not supposed to win.
Sometimes you can be one of the best, but you don’t accept that if you don’t get the ring or win the Super Bowl. There’s a lot of good teams between the Super Bowl winner and other teams. Once the Super Bowl is over, we lump everyone into the other 31, and that’s not fair.
I think we have a good team, but soccer fans will know that we’re in a really tough group. The three teams in our group are really strong. The Czech Republic is a very good team, Italy is traditionally a powerhouse, and Ghana is one of the best teams in Africa.

George Morris is a legend. I was lucky enough to have been on a number of his U.S. show-jumping teams and am constantly trying to learn from him.

A lot of TV is put together by teams, by writing staffs and several different directors. It’s a great, very smart way to make television. It’s worked for however long TV’s been around.

On my teams, as a guy who grew up hunting and fishing, I was in the minority in terms of music and lifestyle. I became good friends with people who listened to R&B and rap. But it wasn’t just an issue of being around it – I was naturally drawn to it right off the bat.
No teams have asked me to play wide receiver.
In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I’m enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.
I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece – the Kississia Colts – where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year.

Members of great teams confront each other when they see something that isn’t serving the team.
It’s still the tradition for various football powerhouses to pay guarantees to schools with cream-puff teams to come on over to our place and submit to massacre.
I take a lean-startup approach: creating agile, interdisciplinary teams that get the minimum viable product to market as soon as possible. It’s my job to be entrepreneur-in-residence, an internal change agent.

The pressure is on the big teams.
When it comes to talking about beating certain teams, we can be narrow-minded when we need to look at the bigger picture.
I generally use ‘threat intelligence’ when I’m talking about a product packaged and sold by a dedicated commercial entity and ‘information sharing’ as something that happens between security teams at trusted parties without renumeration.

When you’re watching from the bench, you can pick up on everything – where guys like to shoot the ball from, how teams defend the pick-and-roll, which big men are good at hedging the screen and so on.
It’s football all day on Sunday. I wish we had football every day; that would make me way happier. Why can’t we have that? You’ve got all these teams! Why can’t we just play a Monday game, a Tuesday game, a Wednesday game?
When I was playing, there were only eight teams in each league, and you didn’t have any playoffs.
What we have to do is to find a solution that the interests of the national teams are respecting the interests of the clubs. And also the clubs they shall respect the interests and the aspirations of national teams.
The Premier League is the best competition in the world, and it’s not easy to win a league with great teams like Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal as rivals.
We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that’s when you know it’s game over.
My mom did a great job because ever since I was born, she would put me into any type of sporting activity with hearing teams.
The bad teams in our league are the ones who don’t pass the ball well.

‘Stargate SG-1’ is one of Sci Fi’s sure-fire hits. It’s got one of the best ensemble casts on television and one of the best production teams as well.
There are people, coaches, and players who fit in certain places. All players don’t fit into all teams, and not every manager can manage every team.
I have long been one of those tedious people who rails against the coronation of ‘student-athletes.’ I have heard the argument that big-time athletics bring in loads of money to universities. I don’t believe the money goes anywhere other than back into the sports teams, but that’s another story.
Teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes are going to be very, very motivated to go for the titles.
I’m always going to be around the game of basketball. I plan to keep my options open as a player moving forward, but that’s not coaching. Maybe front office work, working with teams and spreading the game, maybe teaching the game to young people, that’s something that’s a very big passion.
In the past, Google has used teams of humans to ‘read’ its street address images – in essence, to render images into actionable data. But using neural network technology, the company has trained computers to extract that data automatically – and with a level of accuracy that meets or beats human operators.
I never really considered myself much of a feminist until I left Wall Street. I did all the right things – such as put together gender-diverse teams – but feminism wasn’t deep in my bones.

I was heavily into sport from 10 to 15, I was in all the teams, and it was everything to me. But I was very young for my school year and when puberty kicked in for my classmates I got left behind.

The real guys that I knew were really cool people, who I played basketball with and traveled with on teams and knew their families and knew that they love their family. They just happen to do something that wasn’t all the way legal, but it was a part of their life, and you knew that they hustled.
You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. Some teams can’t or don’t pass the ball. What are you playing for? What’s the point? That’s not football. Combine, pass, play. That’s football – for me, at least.
The midpoint of the NBA season comes a little after the turn of the calendar year. As we settle into the new promises we’ve made to ourselves, basketball teams are busy evaluating how the promises they made to themselves over the summer are going.
I’ve given it all from my combine to my pro day to my meetings with teams.
Countries all around the world, starting with the U.K., have started behavioural insight teams, often referred to as nudge units. And they seem to be doing lots of good.

I am in favor of saying, ‘Okay, let’s get teams of educators and experts in certain disciplines to say, ‘What are the basic things that we think are an essential part of an early education for people?” Put them together and create, as well as possible, a set of goals and tools to learn those things.
The big teams will want to avoid Liverpool. Everyone knows we are a very strong side.
I think there’s a lot of different ways to win. You’ve seen teams that win championships with a super-duper star like Kobe Bryant. Those championship teams with Michael Jordan certainly had a great, great player.

With German teams, they always sit together – there are no phones on the table.
When other teams fear you, that’s a big difference.
Indian cricket fans are manic-depressive in their treatment of their favorite teams. They elevate players to god-like status when their team performs well, ignoring obvious weaknesses; but when it loses, as any team must, the fall is equally steep, and every weakness is dissected.
Good players on good teams don’t get too high, don’t get too low. They’re even-keeled, and they go about their business the right way.

I like the days when all the filmmakers had was a film roll, a camera and a gangster. The Mack Sennett comedies were all like that. They’d create little teams to go out and shoot films.
We, in the business world, invest our money to make a profit. Sports teams make a good profit. That’s the way the system should work, not taxpayers forking over these dollars to for-profit enterprises.
I think the Cowboys are one of only two teams in all of sports that engender love and hate to that extreme. The other is the Yankees. You love the Yankees or you hate the Yankees.
There will always be mistakes, all teams make mistakes.
To compete with the great teams in Europe, you have to invest money. There is no other way to reach that kind of level.
I used to play against a high school football team that always used to run the single wing. And eventually, other teams figured out that they ran the single wing. And so they prepared for it. The Democrats are stuck running the single wing.
I’ve learned that if you don’t have anyone opposing your work, if you don’t have anyone thinking, ‘Man, that should be me. I could do that. I should have thought of that, or they must have teams of people doing it for them,’ your work simply isn’t reaching enough people to be relevant.
In recent generations, women’s sports have been a blessing. Some of us can remember the bad old days in the ’50s, when we would discover in casual schoolyard play that a girl could outrun most of us or hold her own in basketball or hit a softball – but there were no teams, no coaches, for girls.
I’ve been on teams that lost a hundred games in a season. I’ve been on teams that had a shot to make the playoffs and fizzled out at the end.
I grew up watching the Lakers and the Dodgers and the Rams, all local men’s professional teams, and never really had any women that I grew up watching.
I believe all teams choke in certain situations.
I believe politics is a team sport. That, for awful and unfortunate reasons beyond any of our control, the American system only allows, effectively, for two teams.
Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I’ve played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.
In my whole career, I’ve never seen this type of race that you had to wait for the last day. There’s so many teams that are involved. You’ve got to smile because we’re in it.

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game – and do it by watching first some high school or small-town teams.

I’ve had teams where we’ve had to get on a bus for 200 miles, play a game, and then drive 200 miles back.

To be better than 31 other teams, you better be a really good team. It’s just not about one person.
I’m a doctor; we work in teams. I’m very committed to problem solving.
I want to play for Arsenal. When you see football all around the world, you see very few teams who play the way that we play. I just enjoy it. I feel it is my home now.
I’m very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They’ve made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now, because they make things happen.
I’m sorry to say it, but we have to be more arrogant and more streetwise because we are coming up against some great teams who have that streetwise mentality. They bring their play into it: you do what you have to do to win a game. Simple as that. Be streetwise and clever.
Being compared to players, being linked to other teams – I don’t really take any of it in, to be honest. If you think about it too much, you get caught up in it.
One of the biggest gaps in sports is the difference between the winning and losing teams of the Super Bowl. They don’t invite the losing team to the White House. They don’t have parades for them. They don’t throw confetti on them.
Of course it’s normal for people to say, ‘Yeah, this player changed teams because of the money.’ That could be the case sometimes, but after a certain level of success? No.
You have different schemes for different teams. Some teams blitz a lot, and some teams drop eight in coverage.
The cinema I particularly love is the cinema of the golden age of the studios in the 1930s. One of the really nice things about it was the way teams of actors and directors and crew people worked together again and again.
Ball teams do not always run true to form in a short series. In a season’s campaign, class will tell; the best team will invariably win, unless disaster overtakes it. In a short series, some freak situation, same unusual play, may prove to be the turning point.
The best way to avoid bureaucracy is to have small teams who are empowered to make decisions and get their work done.
I don’t want to be married to any ideology, because life is a lot more fluid than that, and I think that we’re trained and conditioned in this country to think in teams.

I remember, when I was a young guy in the SEAL teams, I was very afraid of making mistakes and looking stupid or doing dumb things and getting a bad reputation.
I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.
You’ve always six teams who are trying to win the title, and the other five have failed. But by word of saying it, it’s not failing; it’s just the way it is. The last two years, we didn’t win it, so it wasn’t good enough, but if now we win it, the other teams will say the same.
I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players, they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players.
We literally had all 10 teams alive for a playoff position in the final week of the season. That outstanding balance and those close races created a major surge in attendance in the last month of the season.
All teams need good shooters. You can never have enough shooting.
Dealing with sketch comedy and buddy teams like Abbott and Costello, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby – I just loved buddy comedies.
After winning, most teams become individuals; most teams become complacent.
To me, it doesn’t matter who’s out there: NBA basketball is great – if teams are putting out their best players and they’re competing to win.
Winning teams have the least amount of distractions. They have a really tight group of people working towards the same common goal.
My dad was the one who really loved basketball, and he was the one that put the basketball in my hands, and my mom was ‘Team Mom’ of all my teams. I used to play for three or four teams at once and she would just spend her entire afternoon driving me from practice to practice to practice.
During the season, the teams play every third day. That’s a huge workload with some long journeys. I think, in football, we need more time to rest and recover.
At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.
There’s not too many teams that can succeed on and off the field together.
I have admired Jurgen Klopp for a long time because his teams play fantastic football, and he is a fantastic person.
I’m a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan, and the only other teams whose games I go to are the Rangers and the Kings.
I still have a thorn in my side at not having played for Real Madrid or Barcelona, because playing there is a dream for every player. But I consider myself very satisfied to have played for the best teams in Italy.
Sometimes you wish things would have been different. People still talk about the teams in Indiana. People can’t believe we didn’t win a championship.
I’m on the sockless and un-sockless teams. I’m on both sides.
If there are dominant teams, people enjoy discussing whether that’s good or bad for the game, and if there aren’t any dominant teams, then people enjoy discussing that.
The small-market teams should know I’ve always been with them.
At medical centers such as the Cleveland Clinic and Kaiser Permanente, teams of doctors and nurses provide coordinated care while working for salary instead of getting paid for every procedure.
After the acquisition of id by Zenimax, we had sort of taken the mobile platform team down to a skeleton crew. We were left with about two people who were finishing up the previous obligations on that. The rest had just been dispersed and absorbed by the other teams in the company.
I trust Canadians to be able to look at the different parties, the different leaders, the plans, the teams, and make a responsible choice. And I’m very, very confident that’s exactly what Canadians are going to do.
There were a lot of places, including Los Angeles, that didn’t have major league baseball. There were other really large cities that had no major league teams, but at least they had college football.
Teams usually take on the personality of the coach.
I work with CEOs and their executive teams… and very few of these people are really indifferent about their employees or their customers.
Teams that just play on one side of the floor are going to struggle against defenses that load up on that side.
For those still outside the cult of Slack, it’s a service – available as a desktop or mobile app, or a website – which is essentially a series of public chat rooms (called channels) on topics relevant to a company or to teams within a company.
Inasmuch as there is a useful purpose to what we do as VCs, I tend to think it’s our duty not only to mentor entrepreneurs and executive teams, but also to learn from them and the others involved. We can then pass on lessons to aid the startup ecosystem and help businesses succeed and grow their impact.
I was fortunate to be part of great teams that had success, and I was part of great teams that didn’t have success.
I enjoy watching Gregg Popovich-coached teams.
I’ve been on some really good teams.
In the 1990s, we had seven great teams – Milan, Inter, Juventus, Parma, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina. If you look at the players, they were great players, but there was some crazy investment, and some teams went bankrupt, like Parma and Lazio.
I feel fortunate to be a part of a football community that includes leaders who recognize the power of sport to make a difference and who, like so many of my coaches, are defined not only by their knowledge but by their ability to bring out the best in every member of their teams.
The Lakers and the Clippers teams play against each other; friends shouldn’t.
Spain used to be very individualistic in its sporting activities. Now we are showing we are pretty good in teams – that is an improvement.
At the combine we went through medical exams from every team, the most extensive physicals I’ve ever had: blood tests, MRIs, heart monitors, everything. Because of my injury teams really paid attention to my lower body.
Now there are two or three teams who are very ethical in their outlook who have opened up the economic benefits and that is probably going to be a turning point in the sport.
I don’t know if it’s a small-market thing or not, but we never get the benefit-of-the-doubt calls like New York, L.A., Miami and the big market teams. That’s just the way it is.
Every single member of my Artistry and Pat McGrath Labs Brand Teams – making this dream a reality would not be possible without them.
We’re not going to ride on Space Mountain and do the Disney thing. Forget Mickey. This is freaking ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Gladiator’ stuff that we are trying to will onto other teams.
The era during which only governments could put hardware on the Moon is coming to an end. There are 26 private teams competing for the $30 million Google Lunar X-Prize – to be awarded for sending a robotic spacecraft to this nearby world that can roam at least 500 meters, and send back data such as a photo.
When I was playing with ADO Den Hag in the youth teams at that time I was quite strong because I was used to older people.
Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work – any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.
All my career, I’ve played in great teams – Marseille was a great team, Arsenal was a great thing, but we never won a trophy. With Manchester City, first year, it happened, and it was just a big relief.
I focus on projects I am passionate about and only work with people I respect. Without these supportive teams, partners and clients, I could never work on so many things. I am fortunate that they see the value in the multiplicity of my work and how it all comes together in a kind of virtuous cycle.
The Daytona 500 is a career-winning race. It defines careers for drivers, crew members, crew chiefs and race teams. It has that power.
You go into the Lions camp with preconceived ideas about players and teams and then find guys are actually very different, and the beauty of the Lions is that all those characters are moulded into it. I find that exciting.
I’ll always thank all of the teams I played for from the bottom of my heart because they all helped me grow as a person and a footballer, but the three years I spent in Naples were fantastic. That city gave me everything – my name, maturity, and international recognition. I get very emotional when Naples is mentioned.
Let’s form proactive synergy restructuring teams.
I’ve managed many people in my career. I’ve managed very diverse teams. And it’s interesting because what I’ve found over time is that when it would come to bonus time or raise time, I would hear from the gentlemen, ‘I want to make X.’ I don’t think I ever heard from a woman who worked for me, ‘I want to make X.’
I think the national team is more like a traveling circus. It’s hard to get that translation into the NWSL teams.
The reason why the tag teams are not main event level attractions in the WWE is because Vince McMahon doesn’t like it and doesn’t present it that way. He’d rather make individual stars.
My father was a very fun dad. He was always coaching our soccer sports teams; he made sure that we had activities to do. He was kind of goofy and fun. But at the same time, he had a lot of lessons to teach us so that we didn’t grow up and just not be good people.
NBA’s spacing’s really helped. Teams gotta really respect my jumper.
Teams in the past have been slow starters yet gone on to win the World Cup.
When I play ‘2K,’ I’ll play in GM mode. And I choose different teams. But I always trade for myself because I’m unstoppable. Literally there’s no way to stop me in ‘2K.’
We should not fool ourselves. We are not one of the world’s top teams any more.
There are a lot of teams that don’t want to play, that only want to defend against Barcelona, and that makes it difficult. We’re always looking for the open space. A lot of times we’ll face six defenders and four midfielders.
Ultimately, the best driver will always do something special, whatever the rules and whatever the regulations. Same thing with the teams.
Through the regular season, if you get really good at what you do, teams will have a hard time adjusting to you.
Nobody wants to see teams out of contention showcased in December and January. I’m sure this is something that will be discussed again this off-season.
On great teams – the kind where people trust each other, engage in open conflict, and then commit to decisions – team members have the courage and confidence to confront one another when they see something that isn’t serving the team.
In this business, a lot of coaches are running around thinking they’re the reason their teams are winning.
What you do is build your team around your core. Some teams have one main guy – not many, but some do – and you build around that. If you have a bunch of good players, that’s another way to go about it – through depth, teamwork, defense, and fundamentals.
There are many really good teams in our conference this season. Miami, Indiana and Detroit will be our fiercest opponents this year. But we just have to focus on our game and be patient with the realistic hope that we’ll be on top after all is said and done.
I think different teams have different challenges as you go through.
Championship teams are built on being prepared, playing unselfishly and being held accountable, and that’s how I expect to coach this basketball team. I am truly excited about this next phase of my basketball career.
I’d like to think that every captain around the world has a vision of how they want their teams to play and most of them are allowed to take their teams forward in their own way.
At the level Neymar moves at, you do not change teams for money.
You go to Madrid, you have four or five teams at the maximum level. You go to Milan, and it’s the same. Napoli is similar to Newcastle in terms of everyone supporting one club in the city. It’s positive and unique when you have that.
I try to implement my own ways of making teams successful.
If we sit here and think about what other teams are doing and the points game and all that, we’re going to go crazy, and it’s not going to help our game.
If I could change the science system, my prescription for changing the whole thing would be organising it around big goals and building teams to do it.
I don’t like to compare clubs or players from way back. It’s different today. Your ballparks are better. In the days when I played, we had eight teams in each league. Now you have more.
F1 is about the best drivers competing against each other for the best teams producing the best cars they can.
I want to inspire kids, and yeah, if that helps with expansion teams – in the MLS or anything like that – but my main goal is just to inspire. Try and inspire our youth.
Since we travel a lot as a team, I spend a lot of time on a plane where I like to play ‘Football Manager.’ I have been a soccer fan since I was 5 years old, so to be able to manage soccer teams is a lot of fun.
Man City are a top team, but there are a lot of top teams in this division because the Premier League is the best league in Europe.
Belgium have a very good team. There are dozens of teams that say we want to become the world champions.
The Florida State League was considered the top A-league back then. You played in the spring training parks of major league teams, traveled throughout some great cities in Florida, and the pay was the best in A-ball.
While most philanthropists tend to flock together and build their teams around friends, family, or others who happen to be retired or with a lot of free time on their hands, a great entrepreneur knows that success is directly related to the quality and talents of their team.
I’m a good special teams coach, and I can recruit.
In the teams I’ve been at, I’ve been really well received.
Instead of focusing the traditional planning cycles where companies benchmark their businesses against existing competition, teams need to be developed to foster internal change and disruption. Self-disruption is akin to undergoing major surgery, but you are the one holding the scalpel.
Good third-down teams are teams that usually have success in this league.
F1, we have all sorts of teams with different characteristics. They operate in different countries, under different legislation and with their own ways of working.
People tend to work in teams, in a collaborative way, in an informal network. If you create an environment like that, it’s much more effective and much more efficient.
When you have a script, and you’re discussing what it can be, and who going to play what role, that’s a kind of like a fantasy football game. You can imagine these different dream teams interpreting these characters that only exist in your head.
When you play on bad defensive teams, you get labeled as a bad defender.
Who says a center can’t make the pass into the post? Michael Jordan, effectively, was a post player and you saw with the championship teams players able to do multiple things.
When there were just eight teams in each of the big leagues, I was always told, ‘It’s hard to come up, but it’s just hard to stay in the big leagues.’ That’s because there’s always somebody. The Cardinals had so many minor league clubs and had so many good ballplayers.
Among directing teams, you find a high percentage of brothers. You need the ability to compromise. With siblings, you’ve grown up with a pattern that, yeah, every once in a while you have to give in for the greater good, for the family collective.
I can do it all, and I want to do it all. Put me on special teams. Ask me to block. Hand off. Catching passes.
I think we have got the wood on South Africa, but that does not mean they are not a good team. They intimidate a lot of teams but we intimidate them. There is no disrespect for South Africa; they are a very good team.
You don’t have to find out what someone’s mechanical abilities are. All those factors are already a known commodity. I’ve seen teams win championships and have their entire team quit the next day because they weren’t happy.
I grew up watching the great Milan teams with the Dutch players.
I was the girl who got out of my athletic requirement by managing the boys’ sports teams. Which is pretty ingenious, because when I was a sophomore, I got a prom date out of it. That was really strong planning on my part.
Of course African teams are underachieving when you think of what their potential is.
I think on special teams… I want to be sound.
I wish there was a bar I could send opposing teams to and get them hammered or something – I could tell my buddies in New York to leave their places open or something. Playing for the Yankees, guys come at you extremely hard. I have to be ready or I’ll be embarrassed.
Shaquille and I kind of joke we were the Christopher Columbus of social media. We’re kind of out on a boat by ourselves going through these uncharted waters. But it’s become more understood, embraced and accepted, and now it’s pretty much expected by fans for athletes, leagues and teams to be there.
Teams ask me about my character, but until you sit down and talk to me directly, you might have image that’s portrayed in stories or headlines. But I love the game, I’m up front and honest, I know exactly what I’m about, and that’s the most important thing.
My father was a really good athlete, so his pop-ups really were sky high. Eventually I learned how to judge them properly and catch them well. It was great training for when I started to play on teams, which I did all through school.
Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world… so far, nothing has come to me, because if anything comes, it comes to my manager.
Too often in this world, the things you root for – whether sports teams or spouses to recover from horrible diseases – don’t quite pan out.
When I started playing, there were no teams and no structure, so I had to play with the boys. I get very emotional when I think about the humiliation that I’ve suffered playing football.
In my career, I played for four different teams in a lot of different systems, and it’s like learning another language.
United fans don’t care if the team only has 40 per cent possession as long as they are watching an attacking team. My experience was that the supporters understood that even our best teams, even the teams with Peter Schmeichel or Edwin van der Sar in goal, were going to concede goals.
People talk about you won four national championships. Well, I feel like we’ve had good enough teams to win eight. So I feel like we failed four times. I feel like I failed four times.
There will be ups and downs. Other teams will adapt to us, but everything will be OK in the end. We know we have to learn everything perfectly for this to work.
I basically apply with my teams the lean startup principles I used in the private sector – go into Silicon Valley mode, work at startup speed, and attack, doing things in short amounts of time with extremely limited resources.
It’s always tough to play against teams that bunker or ‘park the bus’ inside the 18-yard box, but we always try to focus on our game and how we can overcome the obstacles that the game presents to continue to get better and score goals.
Every player wants to play on the biggest stages in football. I have played for big teams. I know what it takes.
The Premier League is difficult. The small teams can beat the big teams.
What’s interesting about Laurel and Hardy is that in most comedy teams, there’s a straight man, and then there’s the funny guy. And with Laurel and Hardy, they’re both the funny guy.
The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you’ve got to be very, very smart.
I have so many fond memories of the Tied Test, and I can’t wait to come back to Brisbane. One thing that stands out is that both teams stayed at the same hotel. We got to know each other so well. Some of my best cricketing friends were in that Australian team.
A lesson learned, both in the SEAL teams and as an entrepreneur, is that failure is sometimes a critical component of success.
A few years, there are teams that are just dominant over everyone. Those years are few and far.
The experience of shooting a film is about the script, the captain of the ship who is the director, and the way they push their actors and teams to give their best. It’s not about the language and the region.
If you look at the teams that mix and match their starting lineup a great deal, that sort of inconsistency frequently leads to inconsistency in performance.
I have memories of watching the Champions League as a kid in France. We all supported different teams and they were intense moments. Great memories.
Every team has problems. Championship teams have problems and whatnot.
You learn from playing against the best players and the best teams, and we’re going to keep fighting and figuring out ways to beat them.
I’ve seen teams where there are bad relationships in the locker room, but they can leave that aside and win on the field. For me, I’m not satisfied with any part of that.
I do my own analysis on the teams I am refereeing. I will know some of the personalities, the players who could be difficult customers in a scrum situation, the ones I am going to have to really work hard on early in the game to get what I want.
Every company has messy data, and even the best of AI companies are not fully satisfied with their data. If you have data, it is probably a good idea to get an AI team to have a look at it and give feedback. This can develop into a positive feedback loop for both the IT and AI teams in any company.
The big teams are about the Champions League.
I’ve never had a problem finding a team, a league, or a pickup game. Actually, I’m not sure I want soccer to get bigger. We have so many teams in San Francisco that there aren’t enough fields.
Being a successful CEO, where I’ve driven a bottom line, assembled teams, driven results, that’s a critical benefit to running the state government.
I feel like the Philadelphia sports teams are really good at having my back.
You look at the NBA: there’s all these young kids that are drafted on potential. They go to bad teams, they’re in bad locker rooms, and now we got this analytics stuff that doesn’t teach kids how to play. We’ve got these workout coaches that don’t teach kids how to play basketball.
Some other people are very lucky and always get in to the very best teams at the very best times and therefore go out and score lots of championship points and be in with a chance of the championship.
From the age of 6, when I won my first race in skiing, I was on the national ski teams, really until Olympics in ’72, so I always had a lot of discipline and commitment to achieve as much as I could in good way. Competitiveness doesn’t stop when you stop skiing.
I’ve played for teams that were family-oriented organizations. They made you feel like family. The Yankees are strictly a business. Baseball is your life and everything else is secondary.
Even the best teams have their weaknesses, and Barcelona struggle at set-pieces and counter-attacks when they lose the ball in attacking positions.
The 1973 team is real special. I had never coached against Bear Bryant. Alabama had never played Notre Dame. It was North against South; the Catholics against the Baptists; both teams were undefeated, and everything was on the line.
Most film teams usually come with a tight deadline, which doesn’t leave us much time to compose.
Losing is not fun. I know the fans don’t like it, but they don’t have to watch it every day. I have to watch it every day. I don’t like watching bad teams.
Arsene Wenger’s idea is not only to play good football. It’s to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.
But a lot of that kind of work is done pre-flight, coordinating efforts with the flight directors and the ground teams, and figuring out how you’re going to operate together.
I think there are a lot of ways to play the PG position. Scoring first is a way that works for them and their teams. I personally like to watch PGs that like to work for others.
For me, the obvious examples of tag teams I was a big fan of, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. I would watch them and be blown away by how incredible they were.
I see myself as a citizen of the planet. Even as a child, I always found it mindless to root for your own team. I was puzzled by the fact that people said their own team was better than other teams simply because it was theirs.
I was captain of the soccer and basketball teams in high school, and I was the equivalent of class president.
I was gay before I began to play soccer over 40 years ago. It’s been 28 years since a friend and I organized one of the first gay soccer teams in the world.
It is always tough, always difficult playing against Klopp’s teams.
The Premier League is the best league in the world; it’s so strong. The smaller teams love to try their chances against the big ones, and this is why the game goes back and forth. That can be strenuous, tough on you and your body, but I really love it.
When I became commander of the Joint Special Operations Task Force, I was leading thousands of individuals, from Special Forces to the broader interagency effort. I quickly realized that while we had the most best and most effective operators and small teams in the world, we were unable to scale.
It’s pretty hard to predict anything when talking about the Premier League because of the liabilities the teams and the players have when playing in the Champions League and the other cups, too.
The great teams find a way to win.
Our mission is to accelerate the development of a better financial system; it’s not just development of a better Bitcoin financial system, and so we want to back the best teams, who have the biggest ideas, unique solutions to big problems.
When you play in the Premier League, say you’re playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it’s more of an open game, it’s more attacking, end-to-end.
I think the over-militarization of local police forces is also true of the over-militarization of the federal government, so I don’t really run and hide from the comment that I think there are 48 federal agencies that have SWAT teams.
I’d had success with the junior England teams.
In the bad old days, captains were not good leaders. They didn’t build teams; they were arrogant and autocratic.
I think I’ve achieved some good things; doing the first genome in history – my team on that was phenomenal and all the things they pulled together; writing the first genome with a synthetic cell; my teams at the Venter Institute, Human Longevity, and before that Celera.
That got us started on revenue sharing, and we couldn’t have done it without all the teams.
There are two companies that the AI Fund has invested in – Woebot and Landing AI – and the AI Fund has a number of internal teams working on new projects. We usually bring in people as employees, work with them to turn ideas into startups, then have the entrepreneurs go into the startup as founders.
I played in England for a year and a half, and I know how English teams play – very well.
For me, playing through all the youth teams at Borussia Dortmund was a really good experience because I was able to play against talented opponents at a relatively early age.
You see it for the men’s World Cup, fans traveling everywhere to come support their teams.
The spirit of the Olympic movement is great for young people because it teaches them about the training and discipline required to compete. Even if they don’t make the teams, they can rededicate their lives to the art of sport, discipline, and physical fitness.
But I’m not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.
I played from the time I was seven years old. My father was my first baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued – with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking.
I’m not a huge soccer fan, but I follow the sport. I played in high school, a little bit in college, played on various club teams most of my life, and all three of my sons are competitive soccer players and far better than I ever was.
Fuseproject was founded in 1999, and the notion behind it, which is alive and kicking today, is fusing different disciplines. Our teams are absolutely incredible at their own discipline, but most importantly, they’re incredible at partnering with each other.
I think one of the great things about a football season is that you see teams play in all types of environments, and if you can’t handle one of them, you probably don’t deserve to win anyway.
I spend a lot of time building teams at both businesses – both The Trump Organization and my own – and thinking about who to hire to supplement the team and allow us to best achieve our goals.
In sports, teams win and individuals don’t.
Seal Team Six is a different unit than the rest of the SEAL teams inasmuch as they concentrate primarily on one thing, counter-terrorism, hostage rescue.
You always want to have good balance. That’s the key to winning a Super Bowl. You look at the teams who have won championships, you got to have balance. So, to be able to run the ball effectively and throw the ball effectively is what gives you the chance to win a world championship.
I don’t want anyone to get injured. It’s a competition: you want to play against the best teams and the best players.
Chileans have this rumor that they’re great soccer players, but I stunk as a soccer player. I always had to hide my nationality when they were picking teams because, just by the look of me, they would think that I was a great soccer player.
I think greatness is always good for the NBA. Great players, great teams – it’s always good for the NBA.
‘Justified’ is one of the greatest teams I’ve ever played for. It’s just awesome.
When teams are really out on me, I’m trying to drag them out as much as possible so my teammates can make plays.
I told them, you can succeed – it’s not likely the first time, maybe 25 per cent, but you CAN succeed. You can also die. By April 16 they had already been to camp III, well ahead of most teams.
One of the things that makes the best teams in the world the best is the fact that, across midfield and up top, they are capable of hurting you.
For me, it was a dream to play in the Premier League. I always wanted to be here because this league is very good, it has very good teams, and Manchester United is the best team in England.
I think I like the artistry of the game. I still get a lot of pleasure watching the good-quality teams play, where the movements of the players are coordinated. It’s almost ballet-like, although ‘ballet-like’ is a bit of an exaggeration.
It’s funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they’re always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
And I watch ‘Saturday Night Live’ religiously, I have since I was a little boy. I watch it basically like one of my favorite sports teams.
I was recruited by every school in the country for football and basketball. And an incident happened in high school, and all that was taken away. No other teams, no other schools were recruiting me anymore.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love – even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
Sales teams use social media to generate leads and track clients as they move through the sales funnel. Operations and distribution teams forecast supply chains, while research and development squads brainstorm product ideas.
At the World Cup, most teams changed their style when they played us and maybe were more defensive. In the final, we didn’t know if Holland were going to do the same, but the important thing was we beat them in the end.
The real good teams and the real great teams find a way to win.
I played soccer when I was a kid. I started when I was 8 and played for 8 more years. I was pretty good. I used to train with Atletico Nacional, which is one of the most important teams in Colombia. I used to train every day.
From my experience, playing on some really good teams in the past, that’s No. 1, to pitch well and play defense.
I think that a lot of players and a lot of teams don’t think of contact lenses as being a part of that essential gear but it truly is. You want every competitive advantage you can find and obviously having great vision is one of those advantages.
That seemed to be the case with most of the teams based in the smaller towns – the fans were more rabid, and they wanted to literally kill the opposition.
The theatre always seems to be in trouble but always thriving. It’s deeply comical to me that we agonize about our crap football teams and indifferent Test sides when in front of our noses is a great world success story that no one’s interested in apart from those who work in it.
Teams do not make their debut in the first XI – individuals do – but it is the team that enables the individual to get the best out of himself. Football IQ, I call it, understanding roles and the team structure.
I feel like you always learn different things from different teams.
If I needed to know about a security exploit, I preferred to get the information by accessing the companies’ security teams’ files, rather than poring over lines of code to find it on my own. It’s just more efficient.
Obviously, the big teams create the bigger atmosphere around the stadiums.
Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!
I don’t want to over generalize, but I believe that women are typically drawn to leadership styles that focus on consensus building, effective listening and working in teams. That’s certainly been my leadership style, and I think it’s been very successful.
All those teams I was on that were successful were the ones that everyone had love for each other and had fun. Things that seem minuscule – joking around, laughing, conversing, all those things that seem childish – that is what builds camaraderie.
There is hard work involved, and maybe many people wouldn’t like that. But for the best teams in the world who can do that without losing too many points, then it’s just great.
All of us that have teams want to pick the right people. I’ve thought a lot about that. In the NFL, we’ve got 13 scouts traveling the country. We’re trying to pick 22 year-olds coming out of college who will be successful in the NFL. It’s very hard to do. What I’ve learned is it’s always character first.
That desire to win is something that’s drummed into you at an early age in my country. In Argentina, you grow up watching great teams and important victories.
I participated on debating teams and in student government, and served as senior class president.
When I’m playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
Even companies like Baidu and Google, which have amazing AI teams, cannot do all the work needed to get us to an AI-powered society. I thought the best way to get us there would be creating courses to welcome more people to deep learning.
I ended up staying 10 years in Boston. It was nine as GM but 10 years there. That seemed about right: long enough to try to make a difference and try to contribute to winning teams and some championships.
My favorite teams are the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets.
I know of a few writers who are husband and wife teams.
I’m trying to look natural and not painted. I’m typically fighting hair and makeup teams because I’m always saying, ‘Can I wear less? Can I look natural and fresh?’
You realize it’s a business and that teams are going to do what’s best for them. That’s how it is. That’s what we sign up for as a Major League Baseball player.
That’s what good teams do right there: We come together – and go boom!
Just as sports teams recognize the potentially game-changing benefit of calling time-outs, failing to do so in matters of warfare is a surefire way to continue losing.
Design firms and progressive companies rely on many of the same tools: rapid prototyping, observational research, creative thinking, collaborative work environments, and multidisciplinary teams.
When United play at home, they get some advantage that other teams don’t get. I think when you go to United, Madrid, Barcelona, or Milan, when the referees referee these kind of games, it’s always difficult to go against these kind of teams.
When I started doing improv in Chicago, for every five teams, one or two would have one woman.
Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into teams… but thereby makes us go blind to objective reality.
A lot of people talk about the Fab Five, and they were wonderful, one of the best teams you’ll ever see in college basketball. But the ’89 team is the best one to ever play at Michigan in my opinion because they won the national championship. Winning a championship is winning a championship.
In Georgia it’s a little different because of the East Cobb program. It’s such a strong program that we see a lot of kids that come through here on a lot of different teams from across the country that come here to play in tournaments.
Over the years, I really focused on doing the best job I could, working hard, getting great results, and working with my teams.
It wasn’t like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we’d get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city.
For a long time, I was an assistant in the NFL to George Allen, and George was paranoid that other teams were cheating on him… that they were offering bounties, that they were wiring our locker room, that they were putting food poisoning into the pregame meal of the other team’s stars, stuff like that.
Baseball and its teams are proud of the sport’s long-standing role as a change agent in American culture and society.
I have to experience the Nokia products. I’m a major contributor to the design and the quality of the devices. I have a lot of feedback to provide the teams on that. But also I have to carry competitive devices. You have to understand the competition.
Horrible bosses may be one of the reasons why we decide to leave a company, but they can also teach us how not to lead teams when we have that responsibility.
Equalising performance between teams runs completely counter to the idea of F1 and would be very unfair for us.
I ran the Iditarod twice. I finished once. I came in 42nd or 43rd place out of 70 plus teams the first time, and I scratched 80 miles from Nome the second time. You can read about my experience in the race in my books ‘Woodsong’ and ‘Winterdance.’
We don’t have any kind of sponsors. The players invest themselves. They need money. They need resources… That’s why, in sports and teams, they have sponsors – in soccer, in the NFL. Everyone has sponsors who invest and help to pay daily expenses.
Growing up on an all-boys’ team wasn’t the easiest thing. I’d have guys come after me on the ice and just hit me because I’m a girl. I’d have parents heckling me from the stands, other parents not wanting me on the team, not making certain teams just because I was a girl.
First of all, I think it is not easy to win a title in the Premier League, as you have really good teams here.
I tell people in their careers, ‘Look for growth. Look for the teams that are growing quickly. Look for the companies that are doing well. Look for a place where you feel that you can have a lot of impact.’
My teams have always been dominant about having the ball but having the ball to create opportunities. That’s always been the clear way of my work.
As a quarterback, I appreciated the passer rating whether you threw the ball a majority of the time or if you didn’t throw it as much. You were judged on a level playing field, and I thought teams should be ranked similarly.
I think, from our point of view, my opinion is that La Liga, the tempo and physicality is completely different to the Premier League. Technically, some of the teams there are absolutely tip top.
Neutrinos alone, among all the known particles, have ethereal properties that are striking and romantic enough both to have inspired a poem by John Updike and to have sent teams of scientists deep underground for 50 years to build huge science-fiction-like contraptions to unravel their mysteries.
The best teams in Europe play in the Champions League, and when you face them, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
You as an individual coach have a responsibility to try to give those players who put themselves at risk and in harm’s way a chance to achieve success, and that goes for universities and professional teams, as well.
We were sent outside to our backyard to play sports together all the time – no boy and girl differentiation, just two teams playing.
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.
Football is a chess game to me. If you move your pawn against my bishop, I’ll counter that move to beat you. Football is the same way. I study so much film that I know exactly what teams are going to do. I love knowing what a offense is going to run and stuffing that play.
I have the belief that all the qualified teams can create surprises at the World Cup and not just the traditional top favourites.
It’s really impressive when you’ve got two teams that are really battling it out, low-scoring game, a pitcher’s duel. To me, that’s so fun to watch.
Even though I was still able to make some All-Star teams, mentally I was worn out. And once I wore out mentally, physically I started to wear down.
There is much boasting among the young men about their teams as their horse and carts in Cleveland. Most of the Yorkshire men take as much delight in their ox draught as they used to do in their Horse Draught.
All the best to SpaceX, Orbital Sciences, and, yes, the Progress teams, who are all working on their own solutions to open the frontier along with Boeing and the rest of the fliers trying to fly, all of whom I know personally share the dream. This isn’t their fault; they just want to make things fly.
Tattooed across NASCAR drivers’ jumpsuits and over every square inch of their cars are the logos of the companies sponsoring the teams, underwriting the costs, paying their salaries. Everyone can see who the drivers represent and who is footing the bill.
It’s that way all the way down the line. I’ve got a boy coaching college ball and another son coaching high school. All the way down to summer leagues, all the way down to kids who are 14 years old. All those teams have a closer.
When you play against Barcelona and other great teams in the world, you can lose. It happens.
No one except Hollywood stars and very rich Texans wore Indian jewelry. And there was a plethora of dozens if not hundreds of athletic teams that in essence were insulting us, from grade schools to college. That’s all changed.
To win a major tournament you have to face the top teams at some point, but if you avoid those at the beginning then you can win games and build confidence. I think the key is just to get off to a good start.
I went on inactive duty in August 1945, and since I had stayed in such good shape and had played ball on military teams, I was ready to start for the Indians just two days later, against the Tigers.
Even smaller companies are putting resources behind their analytics teams in the same way they put resources behind engineering and product teams. There are some great tools out there that allow even tiny businesses to use data effectively.
My favorite event each year is the Yankees-Red Sox series. Love seeing passions run hot among the fans, especially when both teams are in the running for the playoffs.
Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.
I played, but I never got a chance to see how the business worked. How the NBA offices and other teams worked. I learned that when I was an assistant General Manager for five years.
Growing up, it was mainly just players I followed more than teams, with the exception of the Mariners. I never really had time to follow a team throughout a season.
People like being on winning teams.
The West is tough. Great teams. Great records, top to bottom.
It’s funny, because when I went down to the combine for the interviews with teams, Charles Haley is the name that came up a lot as a comparison to the way I play. A lot of people said that I reminded them of him, and that’s a great honor.
Everything we talk about is about beating the Packers, the Bears and the Vikings. Obviously there are other teams in the league, but if you can dominate and be on top of your division you are always in the playoff hunt. It’s time for us to win that thing.
All we do is sign great teams, and stay out of the way. The rest will take care of itself.
In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.
Mobile gaming is the largest and fastest-growing opportunity for interactive entertainment, and we will have one of the world’s most successful mobile game companies and its talented teams providing great content to new customers, in new geographies, throughout the world.
I don’t pick tournaments to score or rivals or other teams to score against. I’m a striker: every game I play, I want to score.
I am a believer in passing the ball on the ground, I was lucky to be part of teams like that at Arsenal, with the French national team and with Monaco and at Barcelona. I know you can win in other ways, but I believe that is the way football should be played.
I have more of an identity with Cowher than I do Tomlin. I knew Cowher when he came over from Kansas City as a defensive coordinator, and his teams were tough. Tomlin came in from Minnesota, and I didn’t know anything about him. So maybe it’s unfair for me to make the comparison.
Life is short, youth is finite, and opportunities endless. Have you found the intersection of your passion and the potential for world-shaping positive impact? If you don’t have a great idea of your own, there are plenty of great teams that need you – unknown startups and established teams in giant companies alike.
I’m not knocking the other sports; I love other sports. There’s a competitive and a technical level of them that I won’t understand, probably, to a certain extent, but I’ve done a lot of other sports competing on college teams, and there’s just nothing like fighting.
Many, many of the teams respect Chelsea. Chelsea is a big club. It doesn’t matter the position of the table: the respect is always there.
I truly believe our work is an extension of who we are, and I constantly strive to push myself and my teams.
Playing against great teams makes victory more valuable.
