I have to admit I've dreamed of kicking the game-winning field goal in the Super Bowl many times. That's the fun thing about being a kicker, you never know when it's going to come down to your kick deciding the game.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
NFL Europe helped me quite a bit. It was a situation where I came out of college and spent the first few months of my career over in Europe.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
If you do something enough with purpose long enough, you're eventually going to get really good at it.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Preparation meets opportunity, and that causes success if you're prepared to do your job and you practice a lot, more times than not you're going to be successful.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
There's some guys - Michael Jordan and Mariano Rivera and Tiger Woods - that were blessed with the ability just to be... great.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I think you can develop your ability to be clutch, if that's the word that you will use, your ability to focus and to be able to block out all the external stuff.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
In the end, the Super Bowl is just a football game. You try to take a couple of big, deep breaths and convince yourself it's just another game. You try to, anyway.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
It would be fun if I were 40 pounds heavier and a little bit faster to get in and play some linebacker.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
There's a lot of fun things about this sport, but trying to hoist that trophy at the end is what we all play for.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
When you get one blocked and another partially blocked, you've got to see if you're hitting them low or what.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Looking back on it, I'm extremely blessed to play on two very good teams, with great quarterbacks and owners.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I was born with a shotgun in my hand, chasing pheasant through the cornfields. My dad probably started taking me out when I was 4, 5 or 6 years old.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Cleaning out your locker the first week of January is not a whole lot of fun and it always leaves a lousy taste in your mouth.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
It's fun running out onto the field. It's much more fun playing in the playoffs.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I learned early that it's very important to approach every single kick you attempt, even those in practice, as if it were in a game.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
In golf, there are times when you hit a ball so perfectly that you never feel the ball leave your club.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I first learned about kicking under pressure in 1996, my rookie year with the Patriots. I was signed as a free agent by a team that already had Matt Bahr, one of the best kickers around. To win the job, I had to show coach Bill Parcells that I could make kicks when they counted. That process started in training camp.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Coach Parcells challenged me a lot in my rookie year, and not just in games. Almost every day in practice, he'd stand right beside me as he called for the field-goal team to take the field.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I suppose any person who's played somewhere for a certain amount of time and then has the opportunity to go back and just reminisce a little bit, maybe it holds a different feeling than some of the other places.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
As kickers, it's all about being able to block out the crowd noise, being able to block out certain aspects of the game, and just do your job no matter what the circumstances are.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I'm a Red Sox fan, but I still have a lot of respect for Mariano Rivera, who's the best closer of all-time.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I would compare kicking to being a closer in baseball. This whole game gets played, or the cake is made in front of you, so to speak, and you have to turn around and put the icing on the cake.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
The mental aspect of kicking is the difficult part. Physically, we still have to be in shape and perform on the field, but the thing that separates the ones who make it versus the ones who don't is definitely the mental side.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Making the playoffs is hard to come by, so if you can help contribute to your team's success it's always a successful time.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
Yeah, at the end of the year you always sit back and you evaluate, and unless you have a perfect season with no misses there is always room for improvement.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
I get to put on a helmet, go out in front of 70,000 people and play a kids game. And they pay me to do it.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
People think kickers in general kick field goals. But kickers are actually good athletes; we run and work out just like the rest of the football team.
Quote by -Adam Vinatier
As a football player, as a kid and as a professional athlete the moment of playing in the Super Bowl and winning a Super Bowl, that's what you play your whole career for.
