Great Paintball Quotes
"A lot of people don't understand, they see us on TV, they see us in the magazines and videos, but pretty much every professional paintball player is broke and struggling. That's what people don't understand."
Matt Marshall, interview in Paintball Sports, http://www.paintballsportsmag.com.
"Did you know that you can play in dozens of foreign countries and the rules are about the same in France and Russia and Japan as they are in your very own neighborhood? Did you know that a survey of players around the world-no matter what language the speech or what kind of job they had or how much money their family makes - reports that people play paintball for the very same reasons, because it's exciting and it's huge fun."
- Rick Sapp, Paintball Digest, Krause Publications.
"There is no hunting, like the hunting of man… Be the hunter, not the prey."

"In them lies paintball's future. How are we going to achieve the next level? So what are we missing for the big party, this tournament to rival the gladiatorial matches up all on TV every Sunday in the Fall? One big thing: An Audience! A big fat commercial watching, product-buying audience that will want to go out and buy the products being used on the tube."
- Alex Dalton, from Splat Magazine. Alex Dalton, speaking on ways of expanding the public's interest in paintball.
"The only way to the top is practice. The best players are incredibly talented, but they work hard to refine their talent. The only way to develop professional skills is to play professionally. Play so much as you can. Current pros have played hundreds, if not thousands, more games than you have. You have to work extra hard just to get up to par. Play every weekend, both days, and during the week if you can manage. Practice makes perfect.
- Alex Cadalso, Splat Magazine, issue October/November 2006, www.splatmagazine.com
"A lot of people are like, When do you think paintball's going to make it? Not everyone is making a living, but were on TV, there's video game. It's a giant industry. People are starting to get it."
Marty Marshall, Paintball Sports, October 2006
"A friend of ours found a gun in an agricultural catalog that was used by cattlemen to march cows. It wasn't long afterward that we bought two of these things and had ourselves a little duel. After it was over, we just knew we had stumbled upon something great."
- Hayes Neal, One of the founding fathers of paintball.
"For some being a weekend warrior is enough. Other play for the thrill of victory, and seek out higher levels of competition. Paintball serves up plenty of opportunities for everyone. How far you go in this sport is largely up to you."
- Steve Davidson et al., The Complete Guide to Paintball ISBN1-57826-030-2, a getfitnow.com book.
"Paintball has always grown from players inviting friends to play; that's how I got into paintball, and more than likely, that's how you did too. You can help keep paintball going. Invite your friends to play paintball. Take your company's employees."
- Dan Reeler, Action Pursuit Games.
