Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

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.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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

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