Fur only looks good on its original owner. Be comfortable in your own skin, and let animals keep theirs.
Stay humble, stay grounded, remember what got you to that level-and that’s hard work.
The most important thing in my life is Christ. He’s more important to me than winning or losing or whether I’m playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.
Winning is fun, but those moments that you can touch someone’s life in a very positive way are better.
And yet, if it all went away tomorrow, I know I would still have peace. That probably sounds crazy to most people, but that’s the kind of peace Christ gives. It is rooted in His love, and it surpasses all understanding.
Today, I am blessed to be living a dream. And yet, if it all went away tomorrow, I know I would still have peace.
It will take a nation of millions to hold me back.
Every old goalkeeper loses a step at some point, but you can gain that back through experience.
Good keepers sniff out attacks whether with the feet or a throw out.
Manchester United could have any goalkeeper in the world. I was a 23-year-old kid from New Jersey who, from an early age, had to cope with Tourettes Syndrome, a brain disorder that can trigger speech and facial tics, vocal outbursts and obsessive compulsive behavior.
Some goalkeepers are really sexy with their feet. I have a little sexiness with my feet, but I don’t like to bring it out.
When the whistle blows, I’m completely exhausted, physically and mentally. I get in the locker room and I sit down and I just exhale. Finally, the danger is over.
I think we have more athleticism, I think we have more pace and that’s going to be important to deal with Ghana.
If I woke up and didn’t have Tourette’s syndrome, it would feel weird – not better or worse, just different.
I want to do things in my community, get out of the public eye, just be normal. You get your 15 minutes of fame, I hear, and I’ve had 14. The clock’s ticking.
I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.
A mother’s example sketches the outline of her child’s character.
No, we discuss it as fans. When we see the game, we talk about what we thought was a call or a foul or no foul. We just have to deal with that in the game. There’s gonna be plenty more of those. Referees are humans, so it’s not a problem.
I can’t know what’s coming. I only know how to make myself feel ready for it.
Maybe the game of your life simply means the one that most inspires other people.
