When you fall, get right back up. Just keep going, keep pushing it.

I never left the field saying I could have done more to get ready and that gives me peace of mind.

If you fail to prepare, you’re prepared to fail.

Number one is just to gain a passion for running. To love the morning, to love the trail, to love the pace on the track. And if some kid gets really good at it, that’s cool too.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.

You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!

I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.

If you think you’re done, you always have at least 40 percent more.

It’s going to be a journey. It’s not a sprint to get in shape.
