running real greatness
I think some of the most celebrated moments in human achievement should be those times when everything is going against a person and they are down in the dumps but they simply choose to get up. That's real greatness!
believe winning lines
I don't go to the start line expecting to win. I go to the start believing this could be the day when incredible things happen
men mad training
I constantly remind myself that resting takes confidence. Anyone can train like a mad man but to embrace rest and to allow all the hard training to come out takes mental strength.
integrity fame
Nothing is worth your integrity. Not success, not money, not fame. Nothing.
teacher suffering extraordinary
Suffering is an extraordinary teacher.
believe way tough
The best way to become a mentally tough runner is to believe that you're a mentally tough runner
running thinking just-being
I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment.
You're going to have to bring your 'A' game.
chance guys means quality remember single starters time win
Having two quality starters means everything. We have two guys who we feel like give us a chance to win every time out. I can't remember a single time when they didn't give us a quality start.
ball base biggest concerned drives gets good happy hit position puts ready run swinging
He just gets on base and he's a good hitter. He drives the ball and gets doubles. That puts us in better position so we don't have to do as much, hit and run or bunt. The biggest thing I was concerned with is they were ready to go today. I was happy to see us swinging it again. We had 10 hits.
ability band best depends individual judging members order reward sum
We are judging individual members, because a band is the sum of its parts. The band depends on the ability of its members in order to make it, so why not reward the best of the best?
chance coming fight giving good job shutting
He did a good job of coming in and shutting us down and giving them a chance to fight back.
You kind of just have to go with the flow.
