I'm not exceptionally fast or overly powerful. But I have a good work ethic, and I make up for it by using technique and trying to be smarter.
What you do when no one else is looking will determine how good you'll be.
The one strongest, most important part of my game is that I want to be the best. I won't accept anything less that that. My ability to concentrate and work toward hat goal has been my greatest asset.
It's the old story. You might be able to fool your coaches, or your teammates, or your opponents. But, you can never fool yourself in anything. I believe that the more critical you are of your own performance- the higher standards you have-the better you become at what you do.
If my dreams can happen to me, your dreams can happen to you. Champions are not made on the track or field; champions are made by the things you accomplish and the way you use your abilities in everyday life situations.
You expect success, you respect failure.

It's important to know that at the end of the day it's not the medals you remember.

I never taught my girls to play golf; they all played softball
One of the most awesome things about sports, particularly team sports, is that everything you need to do to be successful on the playing field carries over directly into life. In a team sport you have to learn how to work together, to set goals, and then work toward those goals in a productive way. You learn to be responsible and you learn how to not only depend on others, but also be independent so you can support others.
Softball is the reason Washing Machines and Bleach are so popular. Don't think so? Just ask a softball Mom.
I've face more than 35 major leaguers, and only two have ever made contact against me.
A tie is like kissing your sister.

Baseball is like everything else. You got to study every angle to win.
It is never too late, no matter how old you get because anytime or any point in your life you can always have a chance to make a difference. You can always make a change for the better no matter what background you derived from. You can always do your best and be all that you can be because you will always be uniquely you. It is why it is always wise to listen to your eternal heart, your eternal instincts, and what it had always strove for and/or to do because really anybody can make a difference not only in their own lives but in the lives of others. It is never too late to shine; never.
Let us, therefore, not be weary of well-doing; for we shall reap an eternal harvest of comfort, if we faint not.

Life is what you make it so make the best of it.
The only real failure in life is the failure to try.
