More quotes by 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.

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

The only legacy I want is to be thought of as a winner.

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.

I'm not perfect no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
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
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
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 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
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.
Derek Jeter
Nine games? It's too long.
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.
