Confidence comes from hard work. It comes from facing different situations and making putts. It comes from knowing you've worked on the right things, so when you get under the gun, you can execute what you've practiced.
What I love about the game is that the game doesn't know who is supposed to win.
Two things help me be a winner. One is I try to stay on an even keel. I don't get too high or too low. Two is I do a lot of visualization. I never see a bad pitch. I always see a good one.
Regardless of how you feel inside, always try to look like a winner. Even if you are behind, a sustained look of control and confidence can give you a mental edge that results in victory.
The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am.
I love pushing my body to the limit & seeing how far I can take it before it breaks.
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.
We have North Shore, Hawaii and Lost all there, so they have softball tournaments between the casts. It's hilarious.
Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.
The only person who can stop you from reaching your goals is you.
Softball is the reason Washing Machines and Bleach are so popular. Don't think so? Just ask a softball Mom.
What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.
Softball isn't just a game it's away of life.
When they start the game, they don't yell, "Work ball. " They say, "Play ball. "
I don't want to hear about the endless struggles to keep sex exciting, or the work it takes to plan a date night. I want to hear that you guys watch every episode of The Bachelorette together in secret shame, or that one got the other hooked on Breaking Bad and if either watches it without the other, they're dead meat. I want to see you guys high-five each other like teammates on a recreational softball team you both do for fun.
Only three or four outs directly affect the outcome of any given game. . . One of the greatest challenges of pitching is to recognize these critical situations and rise to the occasion with consistency and a competitive spirit.
Success is doing what it takes in spite of one's fear.
I love to run. I was challenged to run the New York marathon four months after having my youngest son, and since running isn't a big part of softball, the thought of a marathon was a stretch for me.
Everybody I know who goes out and plays a little softball, they break their leg.
Make it a point to be around those with positive energy - people who want what's best for you, people who understand your goals and priorities.
