Wayne Gretzky
My kids are no different than anyone else's - they tend to disagree with everything I say!
Wayne Gretzky
Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!
