You do it and then you think, 'Oh, that's sore', but at the time it is all part of being a footballer, of not letting things get the better of you. I think that has got me where I am today - the hatred of losing, of not being involved. That is why I always do that little bit extra.&rdquo; </p><p>- John Terry</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>If You Have To Run Through Me</title><category term="Soccer"/><id>http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/5/20/if-you-have-to-run-through-me.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/5/20/if-you-have-to-run-through-me.html"/><author><name>Andy Kaasa</name></author><published>2008-05-20T14:48:53Z</published><updated>2008-05-20T14:48:53Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>&ldquo;I've had a lot of injuries in my career, but this has got to be one of the most painful,&rdquo; Terry said. &ldquo;I thought I'd broken my arm it was that bad and I immediately thought I was out of the final. But it was one of those things. No problem, in the end. I always say to Petr, every season, come out, and if you have to go through me and the striker to get the ball, just do it. And that is what he did. So how can I complain? He did what I have been telling him to do for three years. He did the right thing. As long as the ball got cleared, which it did, and we didn't concede, which we didn't, everything else was just bad luck. And I'm going to be OK, so it worked out.&rdquo; </p><p>- John Terry</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Rules</title><category term="Creativity"/><category term="Development"/><category term="Knowledge"/><id>http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/25/rules.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/25/rules.html"/><author><name>Andy Kaasa</name></author><published>2008-04-25T14:25:43Z</published><updated>2008-04-25T14:25:43Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Artists cannot break the rules until they have learned them.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Discipline</title><category term="Coaching"/><category term="Details"/><category term="Leadership"/><category term="Pete Carroll"/><category term="Respect"/><category term="Standards"/><id>http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/22/discipline.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/22/discipline.html"/><author><name>Andy Kaasa</name></author><published>2008-04-22T16:45:27Z</published><updated>2008-04-22T16:45:27Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>The sterner the discipline, the greater the devotion.<br /><span class="author"><em>-- Pete Caroll</em></span><br /></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Be Good Every Day</title><category term="Champions"/><category term="Success"/><category term="Willie Mays"/><category term="Winning"/><id>http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/22/be-good-every-day.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.gosportslife.com/quotes/2008/4/22/be-good-every-day.html"/><author><name>Andy Kaasa</name></author><published>2008-04-22T16:43:15Z</published><updated>2008-04-22T16:43:15Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>It isn't hard to be good from time to time in sports.
