You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here. This moment is yours.

Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back… play for her.

Passion first and everything will fall into place.

The past doesn’t matter. Take today.

You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.

Sports serve society by providing vivid examples of excellence.

Believe me, the reward is not so great without the struggle.

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

You’re playing a game, whether it’s Little League or Game 7 of the World Series. It’s impossible to do well unless you’re having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there’s pressure. But I just look at it as fun.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
