“Losing ... really does say something about who you are. Among other things it measures are: do you blame others, or do you own the loss? Do you analyze your failure, or just complain about bad luck? If you're willing to examine failure, and to look not just at your outward physical performance, but your internal workings, too, losing can be valuable. How you behave in those moments can perhaps be more self-defining than winning could ever be. Sometimes losing shows you for who you really are.” IfsLooksDoeSelfSometimesMomentsShowsWinningLossWillingLosingPerformancesBlameLuckWho You AreValuableComplainingBehaveInternalsDefiningBad Luck Author:Lance Armstrong

“Your pitching coach is almost like your spouse. He's someone to go to when you want to gripe and complain. The big thing for me with Mel (Stottlemyre) is that we've been through so much together. He's been through everything I've been through on the mound. He was a Yankee who won twenty games in New York and a Yankee who didn't win twenty games in New York. For me, he's been there and that's what makes a good pitching coach. He's a good man, too.” MenWantBigsTogetherGamesWinningNew YorkLike YouTwentiesComplainingCoachesGood ManSpouseBig ThingsYankeesPitching Author:Andy Pettitte
