More quotes by Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.
Derek Jeter
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
I can see how people work out to feel better.
Derek Jeter
It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.
Derek Jeter
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
Derek Jeter
You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it, we're playing a game. It's a business, it's our job, but I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun.
Derek Jeter
Everyone fears rejection.

For me, when I was a kid, volunteering was the last thing I was thinking about. When I see kids doing it now, it amazes me. It's very impressive, it gives them something productive to do as opposed to getting in trouble. For them to take time out at such a young age is remarkable. I think all kids should take a little time out to volunteer.
Derek Jeter
Our fans don't want to see us win the Wild Card. They want to see us win the division.
Derek Jeter
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
You know what I want to do? Wake up one weekend and not have to go anywhere and do nothing.
Derek Jeter
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.
Derek Jeter
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
Derek Jeter
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
Derek Jeter
I think there's something wrong with me - I like to win in everything I do, regardless of what it is. You want to race down the street, I want to beat you. If we're playing checkers, I want to win. You beat me, it's going to bother me. I just enjoy competition.
Derek Jeter
I have the greatest job in the world. Only one person can have it. You have shortstops on other teams - I'm not knocking other teams - but there's only one shortstop on the Yankees.
Derek Jeter
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
Derek Jeter
In order to lead people, you have to get to know them.
