Admit to yourself that the pitchers
have you on the point of surrender?
You can't do that. You must make
yourself think that the pitchers are
just as good as they always have
been or just as bad." Lou

"You've got to realize that in
any competition there is always a
winner and loser. When it turns out
that you're the loser on a given
day, you can be a graceful loser,
but it doesn't mean that you're a
loser in the sense that you're
willing to accept losses readily.
Concede that on that day you weren't
the best and that you were beaten in
competition. But that should make
you more dedicated and hard working.
It's wrong to accept defeat as a
loser. Be graceful about losing, but
don't accept it." Nolan Ryan, baseball
pitcher [Nolan

"True success is one of the
greatest needs. Success is not
something you stumble onto or come
to by accident. It is something you
must sincerely prepare for. Take a
good look at successes, and you'll
see the same consistent qualities
all the time qualities of one's
character that make one strive for a
goal with a standard of unmatched
excellence."
Reggie Jackson, baseball
