Regardless of what you want to call it, guys need some type of spirituality they can grab onto. If it's Christianity, which is a very structured approach, or if it's something that's a little more open-ended... like, Zen's something you can make yourself a part of. You can interpret it for yourself, like Taoism and stuff like that.

Barry ZitoI do look forward to keeping in touch with the guys because we'll always be connected in people's minds.
Barry ZitoWhen someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.
Barry ZitoIt's not like I'm some kind of veteran and there is this huge age gap. I identify with them more off the field. I need to set an example, which is great, and I look forward to doing just that.
