I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
Image
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter
Image
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.

Image
When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.
Derek Jeter
Image
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.

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.

A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.

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
Image
I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
Derek Jeter
Image
I never think about my own stats, as long as I'm contributing to the team.
Derek Jeter
Image
Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

Image
When it was time for parent-teacher conferences, I remember that I was always embarrassed about what my parents would hear about me!

Everyone fears rejection.
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.

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.

Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.

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.

My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
