Brad Friedel quotes
-
“Being a goalkeeper gives you quite a unique perspective on things. You are part of a team yet somehow separate; there are no grey areas, with success or failure being measured in real time; and you have a physical job which you can only do well by paying attention to your mental well-being. A great goalkeeper has to have the keys to a great mindset. To be able to work well in the box, I believe you have to be able to think outside the box”
-- Brad Friedel -
“For a goalkeeper, there is no hiding place”
-- Brad Friedel -
“Winning is irrelevant when you’re 11 or 12 years old. It really is it. At youth tournaments, I look at the technical ability of the players. Whether the team wins or loses - I don’t care.”
-- Brad Friedel -
“I don't agree that there's an over-abundance of a lack of quality.”
-- Brad Friedel -

“I'd rather feel something for real than pretend it's not what it is.”
