In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.

I try to sign for as many kids as possible. Kids come first, and I'll always sign for a kid before an adult. It's funny, because I was never big into autographs as a kid. The only player who I ever wanted an autograph from was Dave Winfield.

Derek Jeter
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.

Derek Jeter
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.
Derek Jeter
What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.
Derek Jeter
Obviously, you're known for what you do. But you still want to be known as a good person. You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
Derek Jeter
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!
