I'm ready to do something different.

In the end, as a manager or coach, you have to keep your heart pure and do your best as a manager or a coach.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.

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.

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

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.

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