“I don't think kids should be heading real balls.” — Ryan Mason Quote

I don't think kids should be heading real balls.

We want to play nice football but there are times in games and situations where you can't do that, and you have to come together and be solid.

It's important to bring young players through if they're good enough.

Obviously it's my job, a coach's job to start giving the players a platform and start preparing, start planning.

I worked with Mauricio Pochettino and even as a player, he had certain mannerisms and his body language. There was so much to learn from.

I just felt that 'Golden Balls' was the right thing to do. I didn't care if people thought I was a failure.

I don't think about technique. I just pot the balls.

The more balls that I hit, it's going to get better and better. Once I get a bit more confidence in my ball striking, that's when we can get down to the nitty gritty parts of the game.

We gotta play hard and leave it all out there. Dive for lose balls, take charges, just do whatever it takes to win the game.

Game after game, year after year, you never stop thinking about the balls you get your hands on and don't catch.
