For soccer, it was Diego Maradona, and then another idol for me was Michael Jordan. To see them play and how that they could impact the game was pretty special.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
My parents worked very hard for everything that they got. Their parents worked hard. It's just something that is passed down to you, and whatever you want to accomplish, you have to work hard to get it, and that's always been that mentality that my family has, and I think that's something that was passed on to me.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
If I feel compelled or feel that I really need to say something at a certain time, I'll say it. But more do than not; I'm trying to lead by example.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
It's an honor, it's a privilege to be able to be one of the guys leading your country out, especially in a World Cup. It's something that you'll be able to tell your grandkids about.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
When you come in with the national team, there's an adjustment period. Sometimes you don't have time to adjust.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You always wanna make sure that you're not burnt out. But I feel like I've been able to find the right balance of still staying fresh in games and still being able to be productive.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I always kind of struggled a little bit with being captain sometimes, because sometimes you feel like you have to be someone that you're not.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
Every year is a roller coaster. I've enjoyed the struggle of having new coaches and having to prove myself over again. Being able to figure out ways to solve problems, to overcome obstacles - that's been fun.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You always have to stay motivated and try to make the most of where you're at.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
When you see that your kids are proud of you, that they're excited to wear your jersey and cheer you on, it doesn't get better.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
At certain times during your career, at different ages, you feel better than others.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
With the national team, you never know how long you've got, so you always have to be pushing and making the most of it.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
That's all I'm programmed for: to keep pushing and to try to make the most of my career and my life, to take care of my family.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
In life, you're going to have things that are going to come up against you. You can either let it get to you, or you can make something happen.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
As I've become a professional, I just feel more pressure to produce, to score goals and get assists. I know I'm a good player, but it gives evidence of how good you are if you're able to look at how many passes you've made in a game or how many chances you create. It's in the books. It's become more about stats as I've become a professional.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
It's always kind of a weird thing when you come back from an injury, especially with your heart.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I'll just say this one: on each my shinguards, I'll kiss them before I put them on, and I'll put the names of the people I've loved and lost to remind myself that life is short and to take advantage of the opportunity.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You always want to play at the highest level possible and make the most of your career, and I felt like I did everything I could.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
We didn't have money put away in the bank for a college fund; soccer was our lottery ticket, our gamble.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
All you can do is put in work. That's what you can control, the effort that you put in, and that's what I'm doing.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You're seeing more players come back to MLS in their prime and the homegrown talent coming up that's of high quality. I think that game's always continuing to grow, and I'm happy to be part of that growth and come back to the league.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I think the more important thing for a player is to make sure that you're playing and you're playing well and playing consistently. If doesn't matter where you are.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You don't want to get too far ahead of yourself; you just want to take care of your body and make sure you're doing the right things to give yourself a chance to get through the season.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
All-Star is something that's exciting for the fans: it's a way for the fans to see their favourite players all play at the same time.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I played three seasons when I was in MLS before I went to Europe, and every year, I was able to be selected for the All-Star, which was an honor.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
The moments that matter most are with your family, your friends. They are the realest moments.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I do think you can't be as good as the person next to you to play: you have to be better.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
There's no extra significance on beating a certain player. It's kind of like golf. You're just out there playing, and whatever ends up happening ends up happening.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I would like to thank all of the fans who have supported me throughout my career with the New England Revolution, Fulham, Tottenham, Seattle Sounders, and the U.S. Men's National Team. Y'all have always made me feel at home, and it is something that I will always remember.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
Maybe the law don't always handle things, but that doesn't mean things don't get handled.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
My parents were crazy. They just wanted to do everything they could for their kids.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
There were other clubs that I had options to go to, but Fulham has always kind of been like home to me.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
I'm grateful to Fulham for allowing me to come back on loan, where it all kind of started for me in Europe.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
The most important thing is making sure that we survive because Fulham deserves to be in the Premier League - it's a great club with a lot of history.
Quote by -Clint Dempsey
You've got to do what's best for you and what you want to accomplish in your career.
