More quotes by Derek Jeter
You have to be confident, if you're not confident you might as well go home.
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
Good teams make the playoffs, hot teams win the playoffs.
Derek Jeter
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
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
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 think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
Yankee Stadium is my favorite stadium I'm not going to lie to you. There's a certain feel you get in Yankee Stadium.
Derek Jeter
I can see how people work out to feel better.
Derek Jeter

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
There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
Derek Jeter
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
Derek Jeter
I will never brag about myself, but my family, I can go on forever.
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
I think sometimes people need to get used to an idea.
Derek Jeter
Work hard, love what you do, put your best foot forward and never forget the kid in you.
Derek Jeter
The draft is a crapshoot, so I've been very fortunate to be drafted by the Yankees, and to have spent my whole career here.
Derek Jeter
