I'm ready to do something different.

Pressure comes when someone calls on you to perform a task for which you are unprepared.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.
