“During the season, it's a lot of maintaining your fitness, so in the winter time is when the main work is done. During the season, I just try to maintain my speed with different types of drills with my trainer. I also work on some muscles.

“A great deal of it is mental, the ability to learn within the game, to perform at a high level - often with injury - and to weather the ups and downs of an emotional game through a 16-game season.

“It's not often you find yourself writing about a game that you haven't seen one kick of. But it's not often that the favourites lose 5-0 in one of their most important matches of the season. But all things considered - the difference between expectations of success and margin of victory, the fact of Strachan's debut, the injury to Chris Sutton, the joy it will bring Rangers fans, and the potential financial loss of going out of Europe completely in the first week in August - it is hard to remember the last defeat this bad for any team.” WritingFirstsImportantHardFactsLastsRememberJoyGamesLosesDifferencesLossWeekTeamFansHavensFootballVictoryExpectationsEuropeAll ThingsSeasonsDefeatFinancialSoccerAnalysisKicksInjuryFinding YourselfGoing OutMarginsAugustRangersDebutFinancial Loss Author:Phil Cornwell
“I show up on the injury report as much as the statsheet, but if I’m healthy, I’m going to be a late-round steal in most leagues. Last year I had more than 1,000 yards on the ground despite my injuries, and I had six rushing touchdowns despite Andre Brown vulturing my goal line duties around mid-season. Now I’m in Indianapolis, and my new offensive coordinator is implementing a West Coast offense that should get me plenty of carries and a few catches each game. Plus, I’ll be the goal line guy.

“I think Barry Bonds was in a unique situation given his injuries from a year ago, the fact that he played in just 14 games. Even though I spoke to Barry in December and he was enthusiastic and excited about the possibility, I think the closer he got to the reality of spring training, and as he got himself in shape for the regular season and the San Francisco Giants, he felt like it may be too much of a challenge to try to push his body at this point in his career.” ThinkingTryingYearsMayFactsBodyRealityGamesGivenFeltChallengesSituationCareersToo MuchPossibilityShapesUniqueSpringTrainingYears AgoSeasonsExcitedGiantsInjurySpokesSan FranciscoEnthusiasticDecemberSpring Training Author:Buck Martinez
