I'm going to the football this weekend. I think it's almost sacrilegious to call an election while there are a couple of football Grand Finals on. I don't think the Australian people would thank me for that.

Sports is a real viable job choice for kids now. So kids focus on becoming the best athlete they could possibly be.

Success doesnt always mean winning. There are other ways to win, rather than winning "the game". You can still win in life without winning the game.

I viewed it as a business, but I always viewed it as a game. An opportunity to show my skills, my basketball skills, amongst the best in the world.
Michael Jordan - Basketball - Business - Sports

Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That’s truly about the game, and in some ways that’s about life too.
Michael Jordan - Money - Life - Sports

To be honest with you, all my life I’ve been in a battle to overcome my fears. I’ve had to take that chance with everything I’ve done, from riding my bike down that driveway, to skateboarding, to soccer, to every sport I every tried out for.

The most important thing you need as a sportsman is to be clear on what you're actually doing.

All you can do if you're on the outside is make sure you are adding something to the effort, whether it is being helpful around the team environment or doing extra training to motivate your teammates.

I know that this is sport first and business second, and people have to do what's right for them.

Two hours ago, I was not No. 1. So, I don't know what the feeling is. It's great to be ranked No. 1 player in the world but it can change next week. It can change in two weeks' time. I don't know how to feel.

It was a golf tournament to me. It wasn't about the ranking. It wasn't about going out there and trying to beat Tiger Woods and beat the No. 1 player. I was out there trying to win the golf tournament and that was my goal starting out today.

I don't go into any tournament thinking that it would be great to lose. I think it would be asinine to think that way.

I always feel pressure. If you don't feel nervous, that means you don't care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I've always said the day I'm not nervous playing is the day I quit.
