Cricket
You're always going to be criticized to a degree. Some people didn't like Mother Teresa as well.
- Brendon McCullum

All my life I've been rowing against the tide. What can I do? It seems I was born that way.
- Jose Mujica

Cricket
I never played with a runner in my entire life, even in schools, because only I know where the ball is going and how hard, when I hit the ball, something my runner will never know about.

Any time you can get there and scare a few people, throw up some decent times, it builds up your confidence and also sends a message to other people.
- Marianne Limpert
5
Volleyball
I had to learn to be honest with myself. I had to recognize my pain threshold. When I hit the floor, I have to realize it's not as if I broke a bone. Pushing yourself over the barrier is a habit. I know I can do it and try something else crazy. If you want to win the war, you've got to pay the price.
- Flo Hyman

Football
For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.

Badminton
We're all a bunch of badminton birdies who just got batted from the Republican side of the court to the Democrat side. We'll eventually get batted back again, of course, unless libertarians can manage to do something about it. If your principal concern, like mine, is freedom, there's absolutely no discernible difference between the two 'majors,' and for all practical purposes, they're one big party the Boot On Your Neck party pretending to be two.

I'm every woman's dream and every man's nightmare.
- Ric Charlesworth

I spend the entire 90 minutes looking for space on the pitch. I'm always between the opposition's two holding midfielders and thinking, ‘The defence is here, so I get the ball and I go there to where the space is'.
