I do what I'm coached to do. That's part of being a team leader and captain. The job will change week in and week out, and it's not for you to question what your job is - it's to go out there and execute your assignments.

When it's time to focus in and play ball during the season, 100% of my focus is on that. When it's the offseason and I've got time to be away and I can do other interests - they don't conflict. I'm good at compartmentalizing. I can put everything in its appropriate box at the time and open it up when I need to at a later time.

My main focus is ball. I know what butters my toast. I know what my job is and what is expected of me, and that's what's first and foremost.

I think the biggest thing for all athletes is recovery - being able to bounce back from week to week, practice to practice, to come back in top form.

When success finds you, it's because you were looking for it.

I can never let the guy across from me be in better shape. I have to be the best-conditioned guy.
