My main focus is, 'What can I do today to help the team win the ballgame?' You have those blinders on. It helps you focus.
I never want to play timid or scared of anything, especially when my pitcher or my teammates are out there going 100 percent.
I've just got to go in there and get some quality at-bats and do my job and help the team win any way I can.
I've got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn't a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.
I was on the snowboard team at my school, but that was the only sports team I was on. I played soccer growing up in elementary school.
I try to give my best for the team, help the team, and try and go out there and play the best I can for myself as well.
I am not the life and soul of the camp, but I do speak a lot throughout the team and to everyone.
The Premier League used to be two teams going for the title, but it has come on a long way since then.
You have to give 100 percent in the Champions League, as you're up against the biggest teams.
I like to be involved as much as I can in the game, and in the middle, you're definitely the heartbeat of the team. When you're on the right, you can go minutes without seeing the ball, and that's a long time when you're out on the pitch.
