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.

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.

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

I'm ready to do something different.

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.

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