Wayne Gretzky Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Wayne Gretzky:

Ninety percent of hockey is mental and the other half is physical.

I don't like my hockey sticks touching other sticks, and I don't like them crossing one another, and I kind of have them hidden in the corner. I put baby powder on the ends. I think it's essentially a matter of taking care of what takes care of you.

By no means could I play at the level of these kids who play in the NHL now but as 50-year-olds go, I feel really good and I feel blessed that I'm still healthy.

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!

It's an honour and a thrill and a privilege just to play in the NHL.

The only way a kid is going to practice is if it's total fun for him... and it was for me.

Wayne Gretzky

When I was 5 and playing against 11-year-olds, who were bigger, stronger, faster, I just had to figure out a way to play with them.

Wayne Gretzky

I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

Wayne Gretzky

I think that from the time you start playing sports as a child you see that your responsibility to your team is to play the best that you can play as an individual... and yet, not take anything away from being part of a team.

Wayne Gretzky

And people who know me would tell you that away from hockey I'm really not that competitive.

Ninety percent of hockey is mental and the other half is physical.
