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

I'm ready to do something different.

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

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

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

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.

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.
