Motivation Quote by Mats Sundin

There’s a deliberate plainness to Sundin’s line, the kind athletes reach for when the real story is bigger than they’re allowed to make it. “Treated awesome, in all aspects” isn’t poetry; it’s PR as self-protection. The phrasing keeps everything soft-edged: no specifics, no names, no promises. That vagueness is the point. It signals gratitude without binding him to a long-term commitment, and it praises the organization without stirring the kind of controversy that can follow a star in a new market.

The subtext is negotiation. When a high-profile player says he’s “enjoy[ing] playing here,” he’s also saying: I’m comfortable, I’m fitting in, and you should treat that as an asset worth paying for. Compliments can be leverage, especially when they’re broad enough to be repeated on a chyron and safe enough not to age badly if circumstances change. “Since I came here” subtly marks a before-and-after, implying that the move (and the reception) corrected something that wasn’t working elsewhere, without dragging past teams or fans.

Contextually, it’s the classic newcomer script in pro sports: reassure the fanbase, reassure the locker room, reassure management. It’s not meant to reveal inner life; it’s meant to stabilize the storyline around a marquee figure. The intent is less confession than alignment: I’m with you, I’m happy, keep believing this was the right move.
