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.

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.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

Being involved in competition is a privilege and an opportunity. Seek to make the most of that opportunity by pushing yourself to the limit of your abilities. When it is over, you will have earned the respect of your opponents, your coaches, and yourself.

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

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