To a sprinter, the hundred-yard dash is over in three seconds, not nine or ten.
The best pitchers have a short term memory and a bullet proof confidence.
The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games
I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they're in a jam, a lot of pitchers. . . try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.
Consistency is something you can always improve on. You can be more consistent with your mental approach, the things you do physically on the mound. Instead of doing 5 good pitches an inning, try to make six. You can always do more of what you are doing well and try to be as consistent as you can be.
If you are content with yourself, you'll stop taking those little steps forward and begin taking big steps backward.
What has benefited me the most is learning I can't control what happens outside of my pitching.
My age now, like my age 20 years ago, marks the year in which I was born. That's all.
I struggle with trying to be a good pastor of a large church.
If I owned a network, I would never let a guy just put people on without telling me who they are.
~You know how parents rattle on to you about, 'Oh, you won't believe your life will never be the same,' and you think, Why can't these people just get over it? All they're doing is yakking about their kids. It's such a bore. And then you have kids and you just want to do the same thing. ~
