More quotes by Derek Jeter
You can't be sensitive, because you're going to get criticized. I don't care who you are, you're going to get criticized.
Derek Jeter
It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.
Derek Jeter
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
Derek Jeter
So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail. I’m not afraid to fail. I’ve done it quite a bit. The calmer you are, the more the game slows down for you, and I think part of that is controlling your emotions.
Derek Jeter
I like to dance and sing when there's no one around, but, if I'm out, I'm really shy about it. So it takes a lot to get me going, but I enjoy being around music.
Derek Jeter
It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
Derek Jeter
During the offseason, I go to the movies almost every day. You hear about women buying shoes? I buy DVDs. I definitely have a problem.
Derek Jeter
Handle yourself like a professional on the field and you have one goal-and that's to win.
Derek Jeter
I think sometimes people need to get used to an idea.
Derek Jeter
Everyone fears rejection.
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
I try to stay as private as possible I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.
Derek Jeter
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
Derek Jeter
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.
Derek Jeter
The Yankees have twenty-five heroes.
Derek Jeter
If I'm shifted two steps toward third base and the ball goes up the middle, people say I have no range to my left. That's why those statistics aren't accurate. You're changing for every batter, sometimes with every pitch. You really can't make one statistic for every shortstop. You have to go by what you see.
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!
Derek Jeter
I'm not one to sit around and be satisfied about something. I can always get better.
Derek Jeter
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
