My mother's the most special person in my life ... I consider her my MVP: Most Valuable Parent.

Why do people sing Take Me Out to The Ballgame when they're already there?

I have incredible motivation to go out and improve every day.

When you think small and up the middle, good things happen.

I've done a lot of special things in this game, and for none of that to be considered clutch, it's an injustice.

I'm focussing on what I haven't attained, not what I have. A lot has come to me early. I don't want to get consumed with that. Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now. My goal is to play one full game in the now, but I haven't even gotten past the first inning yet. I start thinking about where my mom is or if my dogs have been fed. The average human has 2,000 thoughts a day. The really accomplished have 1,500 because you can focus longer. I need to learn how to focus longer.

Some things are meant to be and if it was, you will know it.
