...in my book success and winning are not always the same thing. To me, success is playing - or working - to the best of your ability.

We can learn from past failures and mistakes, but we shouldn't get stuck there. We can keep future goals in mind, but we shouldn't get stuck there, either. The only way to reach our potential is to focus on what we must do now - this moment, this day - to perform effectively and win.

There is no worse emotion than fear.

Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times.

I met Tiger Woods, and I looked in his eyes - and I saw Derek Jeter. They don't have to tell people they're good. They just prove it by the way they love the competition.

Don't be afraid to fail, encourage your talent, and use your heart. And never be unprepared

You look at a guy who's being brave. He's afraid, or he wouldn't be brave. If he isn't afraid, he's stupid.
