They know the best way of doing things and the best way of, in every field, even in their own profession that they’re in. There’s so much that you can learn from each one of the people that I’ve worked with. Everyone’s perfect and everyone gives their more than 100 per cent to every shot, every movement, every blink, every emotion, every expression. So just to kind of, and it’s not like they’re always very serious people or anything they are fun and at the same time, when it’s action time, they are completely transformed.”

And you would sometimes feel that, you know, when you reach that level, you get a little relaxed that it’s okay if I do this much also, it’s okay but it doesn’t happen like that they are there fully present, completely at all times, every second of the game,” he added.
