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

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

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.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.
