I do, have done and always will believe that I am very capable of performing and thriving at any level of the sport.

I'm pretty aware that the pursuit of perfection is, inherently, a flawed concept.

We need to ask ourselves what are we here for and what have we worked so hard to be here for.

My own position is so far on the obsessive side of preparation and professionalism that I fear my point of view is not going to be shared by anyone.

I wouldn't go in a fast food outlet even to use the toilet.

I want to be more than just some guy who played in a World Cup final.

When you're obsessive, like me, searching for something unattainable can become unhealthy ... it's like falling through the air and grabbing at the clouds.
