I can't concern myself with what's going on with the club or what the media is writing. If you pay attention to those things, that's when you get yourself in trouble.

We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.

I'm always writing at night - things I would change, things I would do differently. When I write a note, it sticks in my head differently.

I like being close to the bats.

I've wanted to manage a long time and I've been moving in that direction.

When I gave up me, I became more. I became a captain, a leader, a better person and I came to understand that life is a team game...And you know what?...I've found most people aren't team players. They don't realize that life is the only game in town. Someone should tell them. It has made all the difference in the world to me.

I'm not afraid of criticism or what somebody may think.
