And I think that's a bit of what he's saying. As a professional he must always try to do as well as he can. And that's all he can do. If someone is always playing the best they can on that day ther really isn't room to elevate their play.

If that inspires someone or not is outside his control.

And to say some event will make you play better or harder is admitting that maybe you don't always give the fans your best.
