I'm continuing to prepare very well because I have my responsibility and my (pride) as a man and an athlete.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know what I need to do to prepare myself, and I try to do the best I can to take care of my body and prolong my peak years as a baseball player.
You prepare yourself by concentrating on what you have to do out on the field.
People expect you to play your best, so I go through a routine to prepare myself so that I know I'm physically and mentally ready - prepared for the game.
I am confident of doing well because I am enjoying my sport again.
I just prepare myself to perform well, to support my teammates to play well, to try to get to the final, to the World Series.
What I do is prepare myself until I know I can do what I have to do.
I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.
You're going to have some ups and downs, so you have to prepare yourself to be ready. Those down moments come.
I never prepare. I think that's completely overrated. It's a very simple job. All you have to do is hit this bright mark, stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don't really believe in preparation.
I've probably given myself enough time to prepare for this meet and we're all different athletes so I can't take their results as what's going to be inevitable for me.
