Through time you learn from your experiences. I think I've learned to deal with people a little bit better over time. That in particular has developed a little bit.
From Derek Jeter
The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
Everyone fears rejection.
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
The big difference for me is that, as I get older, I find it's a lot easier to stay in shape than it is to get back in shape.
You can't quantify everything a player does to win games.
I've always been very aware of what I'm saying, but I'm also aware of what you're saying. I always want to make sure that my point is clear.
I'm a New Yorker now, and believe me, there's no comparison between the Big Apple and Kalamazoo, no similarity at all. New York City's hectic, always in fast-forward, and Kalamazoo's more laid-back, smaller, slower.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
The number one priority is playing baseball. There are so many people in New York trying to get you to do this and get you to do that, which is fine, but you have to take care of yourself.
