10 QUOTES WITH «ROOKIE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word rookie.
1
Andrew Bogut
I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.
2
Earl Campbell
I did some good things as a rookie.
3
Gary Carter
It's kind of a tradition that you get a rookie, put him in the middle, wrap your arms and legs around him, then douse him with everything you can get a hold of - shaving cream, ketchup, mustard, everything. It's kind of like a pie in the face after a guy is successful.
4
Michael Chang
I actually became a Christian in my rookie year on tour when I was 16 years old.
5
Michael Cooper
I think sometimes you just need to play in this league. As a rookie coming out of college, you don't understand the real significance of being a pro unless you're playing other pros. It doesn't help you to play sporadically here or there.
6
Gio Gonzalez
I remember my rookie hazing. It wasn't fun.
7
Louis Gossett, Jr.
I was invited to play with the New York Knicks. I was never drafted, but I was invited to the rookie camp.
8
Ernie Harwell
Baseball is a rookie, his experience no bigger than the lump in his throat as he begins fulfillment of his dream.
9
Michael Irvin
I didn't always know, but I always wanted to. I always wanted to be the very best receiver the Cowboys ever had. That was my goal coming in as a rookie and my goal throughout my career: being the best they ever had, going up in the Ring of Honor.
10
Dhani Jones
With TV, it's the same way as preparing for the game of football. To get better at football, you have to watch the film and watch those who came before you and played the game, and yes, the first year you come in as a rookie and you're not gonna be as good as when you come in as a vet, and I applied that in the same way to 'Ton of Cash.'
