ESPN is a great organization to work for.
Lou HoltzThe first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.
Sunil ChhetriUnless someone wants to look funny, I’ll not recommend anyone to copy my bowling action. But on a serious note, with the confidence that I have got from the amount of runs I have been scoring, when I’m thrown the ball to bowl, I am pretty sure of what I have to do. I may not be the most attractive to watch while bowling, but I can be effective.
Virat KohliYou know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.
LeBron JamesI have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.
Lou HoltzI am fortunate to have played 15 years for my country.
Sunil ChhetriThe intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool – it is not a usual.
Jurgen KloppI can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle ObamaI played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That’s when I knew I had some athletic ability.
LeBron JamesI get a little bit emotional during a game!
Jurgen KloppSo like any football or basketball coach, you always always believe you’re going to win.
Colin PowellEvery night on the court I give my all, and if I’m not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
LeBron JamesSome of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.
Stephen CurryI was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.
LeBron JamesTo be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.
Cristiano RonaldoMy priority is cricket. Everything that I get apart from it is a result of the effort on the field. Everything else follows. I am pretty aware of my priorities, and I don’t really focus on things that are not as important to me as cricket.
Virat KohliIn England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.
Jurgen KloppThe worst thing is for a player to come to a club and not be able to play.
Sunil ChhetriI am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.
Jurgen KloppI’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.
Jurgen KloppWhen I was a kid, I never thought much about football. I thought about following in my family’s footsteps and going into professional wrestling.
Dwayne JohnsonI think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.
Bob UeckerI idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.
Sunil ChhetriI used to play a lot of different sports. Now when I look back, I understand that it really helped with my hand-eye coordination.
Sunil ChhetriI love soccer, love tennis… Roger Federer has been a favourite for a long, long time. The kind of consistency he has shown, 16 Grand Slam titles… The way he handles himself in pressure situations is admirable… He is so calm… In soccer, I’m a huge fan of Barcelona… I like watching Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Villa.
Virat KohliLot of players lose hope because of lack of motivation.
Sunil ChhetriI was in high school when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled India’s flag in New Delhi.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamMy first win feels better than a draw!
Jurgen KloppI’m a golfer, and what are the two sports you can do till you drop? Golf and surfing. They’re great for you limber-wise, they’re great for you health-wise, and they put you in sweet locations.
Matthew McConaugheyShinji Kagawa is one of the best players in the world, and he now plays 20 minutes at Manchester United – on the left wing! My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji’s best role.
Jurgen KloppOn the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.
Virat KohliAs an athlete, you’d better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.
Dwayne JohnsonI noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.
George BestI’m just glad I play for Coach Belichick.
Tom BradyI see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
Cristiano RonaldoI saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

Jurgen KloppDavid Beckham has never impressed me.
George BestI had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

Babe RuthI just want to do well with the national team.
Sunil ChhetriIf Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I’d draw the curtains.
Bill ShanklyOh, I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.
Michelle ObamaI have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory… And why not? Victory is good for you, and don’t let anybody tell you different.
Hunter S. ThompsonMen like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.
Jerry SeinfeldYou know, I’m just 6’9 and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.“

Dwayne JohnsonMy grandfather was one of the very, very first, if not the first, Samoan wrestlers to become known on a worldwide basis.
Dwayne JohnsonAll an agent is going to do is buy things for a player, damage his eligibility, and make the player dependent on them.
Lou HoltzWhen the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It’s very cool.

Virat KohliI make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.
LeBron JamesI had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.
Jackie RobinsonFor me, my secularism is, India first. I say, the philosophy of my party is ‚Justice to all. Appeasement to none.‘ This is our secularism.
Narendra ModiI think the positive competition between states in India is one of the most positive dynamics that the country has.
Bill GatesIt obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn’t a level playing field.
