We have players who practice (for) six hours a day, devoting their whole lives to it. Careers have been lost, families have been broken up, and lives have been messed up because of people who take the game too seriously.

We would be in the car and he would practice his Spanish.

I really had to know my stuff to get in there. Coach saw something in me in practice one day, and I knew what I had to know and I got the job done.

I've been landing at least one quad every day in practice. I want to do it, for me more than for anything else. It's an element I've been missing and chasing for a long time.

What makes it frustrating is that, we're the type of program that practices every day and we practice situations every day. Mentally, a couple kids did not execute properly, home plate was left uncovered and, hey, give their runner credit, she never stopped.

We practice putting the ball on the ground and being smart and aggressive every day. I don't care if you play high school, college, or even pro ball. If you can do that, you will be successful.
