The beauty of growing up in a coaching family, particularly one that isn't at the very highest level, is that you get to be in the gym - that's where you grow up.

For professional athletes, I always think about it in these terms: the most difficult diva of women's soccer would be the easiest NBA player ever.

There's always been conflict, inherent conflict between players and coaches.

Losing has an unbelievably negative impact on me.

We are human beings, at the end of the day. Success and failure are a part and parcel of our life.

Success is about enjoying what you have and where you are, while pursuing achievable goals.

I always say be humble but be firm. Humility and openness are the key to success without compromising your beliefs.

There is still too much pressure on short-termism in terms of the drivers of success.
