I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
I don't think you can ever get bored or lose focus as a competitor.
What people see on court is another side of me; it's not me.
I love winning more than I love playing badminton. Winning is everything.
Anything I do that's competitive, I try to win. That's the way I've always been, and I like to keep it that way no matter what I'm doing.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
I always had that, even when I was a kid in a go-kart or when I was playing soccer or tennis: that need of winning. It was there all my life, and it's still there now.
I'm very competitive. If I have to 'turn it on,' I know how to. The switch isn't hard to find, don't worry.
It's a quality you need to be a world champion; you have to have that killer instinct.
I played guard my whole life, and liked having the ball in my hands.
I think there is so many elements of the culture of basketball that Jordan leads in and has been a leader over the years - from Michael's on court legacy to his work ethic, competitiveness, passion, and leadership.
Well, when you think of Dale Earnhardt, you think of determination. You think of grit. Just a blue-collar, working-class guy that got out there and fought for the checkered flag and fought hard for it. And I got so much out of him. He inspired me.
We need to go into every game believing we are going to win.
We try to pride ourselves in having a chip and being hungry every game.
On the pitch, I will always be like that. That's my character, and I will always compete and compete - always. I'm a different guy off the pitch, as you can see, but on the pitch, I will not change.
I've never been on the court and not wanted to play.
I am very, very hungry to compete.
I like every game to matter, to feel like we must win.
If you ask what's been my secret of success, most might say it's my God-given athletic ability to throw a football. While talent is important, it's not necessarily the most important thing. Thousands of talented people fail every day. My strength has been my will to win-that competitive fire inside.
I've always played with a high intensity anyway. That's how I've always been.
The love of this game has been with me since I heard the word basketball itself.
Great players always play with a chip on their shoulder no matter if they have a reason to or not.
I want to get in there and jump in the stands and dive for every loose ball.
