“This campaign was special because we always kept the challenger mentality we had from the start. We managed to keep the against-all-odds, can-do spirit that kept us going when no one thought we could win.”
Geoff Davis
“When I was starting I would start getting mentally prepared before the game. Now, I'm getting mentally ready during the game. There really isn't that much of a difference.”
Jonathan Papelbon
“Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities.”
Tom Brady
“(Pickford) did a good job and we're real pleased with the way she has evolved. Her mental side is starting to catch up after a rough start. It was just a mental thing for her, she just had a hard time getting her step off and couldn't get her foot to land at the specific place.”
Mike Stevenson
“Some guys like to start it out, and they get out of the blocks well. But from a mental standpoint, if I'm coming off the bench, I like to sit down and see what's going on. I can clear up some things when I get out there or try not to do the exact things that someone else has been messing up on.”
Tony Battie
“It's always nice to get off to a good start in conference from a mental standpoint. We got off to a good start last year and that propelled us into the season, but I don't think that any one weekend makes or breaks you in the long term.”
Dan Hartleb
“We have just changed our mentality a little bit. I think we started focusing a little more.”
