“I really feel like that concept of enjoying the now and not worrying about the future is what my coach has been trying to teach me for 14 years - and that is what has made me such a different athlete 10 years later, and that is what has made me strong enough mentally to make this Olympic team.” FeelsTryingYearsHas BeensMadeDifferentEnoughStrongEnjoyTeachWorryTeamConceptsAthleteCoachesStrong EnoughNot Worrying Author:Melanie Roach

“Worry is different from fear. If fear is like a raging fever, worry is a low-grade temperature. It nags at us, simmers in our souls, hovers in the back of our minds like a faint memory. We may fear certain realities, like death; we worry about vague possibilities. Worry distracts us more than paralyzes us. It is like a leaky faucet we never get around to fixing.” IfsMindMayDifferentSoulRealityCertainMemoriesWorryPossibilityLowsRageGradesVagueTemperatureFeverFixing Author:Gerald Lawson Sittser
“The trauma of 9/11 stimulated infinite possibilities for worry - some quite plausible, but most inspired by remote what-if fantasies. A society bingeing on fear makes itself vulnerable to far more profound forms of destruction than terror attacks. The "terrorism war", like a nostalgic echo of the cold war, is using these popular fears to advance a different agenda - the re-engineering of American life through permanent mobilization.” IfsDifferentWarFormWorryFantasyPossibilityColdDestructionInfiniteProfoundInspiredTerrorTraumaTerrorismVulnerablePermanentAgendasWhat IfEngineeringEchoesCold WarNostalgicAmerican LifePlausibleInfinite PossibilitiesMobilizationTerror Attacks Author:William Greider
“Hitting in a game is no different than hitting in a home run contest. It pisses me off to say Barry Bonds is the greatest hitter. He's playing in a wussy era. The game is soft. You never get thrown at today. Last thing a hitter has to worry about today is getting hit. The first thing Hank Aaron had to worry about is: Am I going to survive this at-bat because I'm black.” FirstsDifferentHomeRunningTodayLastsGamesBlackWorryErasThrownHittingBatsContestsYankeesNew York YankeesHome Run Author:Goose Gossage
