My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.
Virat KohliI’ve exercised with women so thin that buzzards followed them to their cars.
Erma BombeckTo win a national championship, you’ve got to be a little lucky.
Lou HoltzI 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.
Lando NorrisSports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
Kobe BryantTaking in a baseball game on TV is also a big treat.
Jerry SeinfeldTo bear means to support the weight of that which is held. It is a sacred trust to bear the priesthood, which is the mighty power and authority of God.
Russell M. NelsonEven if soccer is not number one in the United States, they do things very well here. There’s much our country can learn from the U.S.A., because we all know that soccer is not the main game in India. We can still do more things, like provide better facilities for the players so they can perform well.
Sunil ChhetriNext to religion, baseball has had a greater impact on our American way of life than any other American institution.
Herbert HooverGoing to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
Ronald ReaganI’d just as soon play tennis with the net down.
Robert FrostI don’t know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.
Lando NorrisIf a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.
Erma BombeckI signed for Mohun Bagan and then I got the news that Bhaichung also joined the club. The first day he met me he told me that I have heard about you and you are doing well. I told everyone in my family and friends that Bhaichung told me that.
Sunil ChhetriOne of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won’t have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.
Hunter S. ThompsonAny teammate of mine that had a kid and a boy that was capable of playing baseball, I think I set a terrific example of ‚Don’t do this‘ and ‚Don’t do that.‘ And that’s one of the things that I’m most proud of.
Bob UeckerThe joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That’s what I enjoy now.
Virat KohliPersonally yes I want our country to have one league. When it’s going to be one league, which we all are hearing, it has to be abiding by AFC rules.
Sunil ChhetriSome people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.
Bill ShanklyAt the end of the day, we started playing football because we loved it.
Sunil ChhetriIt’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.
Stephen CurryMen don’t really like skinny, do they?
Angelina JolieI don’t think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.
Kobe BryantI plan on taking athletics as far as I can.
Dwayne JohnsonIn the final choice a soldier’s pack is not so heavy as a prisoner’s chains.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIn my heart, I am always a Raider.
Hunter S. ThompsonWhen did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
LeBron JamesI’ve taken countless shots in my life, so you know the ones when you’re in rhythm, with a perfect release, and it’s on track, that it’s going in.
Stephen CurryI 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 RobinsonI want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.
Virat KohliI don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
Kobe BryantEveryone loves a win in India. No one wants to lose a match. It is the cricketer who absorbs all the pressure.
Virat KohliMaybe the ones burning my jersey were never LeBron fans anyway.
LeBron JamesAs a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations. I don’t take pressure on myself when I am in the middle. I love pressure, and I always believe that pressure makes you more focused.
Virat KohliYou cannot mix sports with politics.
Jackie ChanAt the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.
George BestI was a Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan fan growing up.
LeBron JamesLouis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.
Jurgen KloppThe old Dodgers were something special, but of my teammates overall, there was nobody like Pee Wee Reese for me.
Jackie RobinsonIf you made me the national commissioner of football, I’d tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.
Lou HoltzMy game is really played above time. I don’t say that like I’m saying I’m ahead of my time. I’m saying, like, if I’m on the court and I throw a pass, the ball that I’ve thrown will lead my teammate right where he needs to go, before he even knows that that’s the right place to go to.
LeBron JamesIn England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.
George BestI guess for every driver the aim is to beat their teammate.
Lando NorrisI failed to make the chess team because of my height.
Woody AllenOh, 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 ObamaLiverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.
Jurgen KloppMy superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.
Virat KohliI can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.
George BestTo share the dressing room of club and country with Bhai was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot from him and other senior players like Renedy Singh.
Sunil ChhetriI don’t want to be called a point guard, but I can’t stop it.
LeBron JamesNot bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television… I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.
Bob UeckerI don’t really care how the Patriots are perceived, truthfully. I really don’t. I really don’t. Look, if you’re a fan of our team, you root for us, you believe in our team, and you believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. If you’re not a fan of us, you have a different opinion.
Tom BradyFighting football, not serenity football – that is what I like.
Jurgen KloppA lifetime contract for a coach means if you’re ahead in the third quarter and moving the ball, they can’t fire you.
Lou HoltzYou throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.
Bob UeckerAs a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you – but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.
LeBron JamesAs a coach, one thing that used to frustrate me was one player would make a bad decision, and that’s all you would read about in the papers all over the country. We have so many athletes do so many wonderful things for other people, and you never read about it.
Lou HoltzIf it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery.
Babe RuthPlayers now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don’t really give a toss whether they’re playing or not because they’re getting paid anyway.
George BestSo like any football or basketball coach, you always always believe you’re going to win.
Colin Powell
