More quotes by Derek Jeter
I think sometimes people need to get used to an idea.
Derek Jeter
My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me.
Derek Jeter
The guy's (Shane Spencer) ridiculous. No one hits home runs like that. I'm telling you, man, it's ridiculous.
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
I've hung out and dated people I've never even met before.
Derek Jeter
You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun.
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
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
Derek Jeter
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
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
It doesn't take any talent to play hard.
Derek Jeter
I think when things linger, that's when they become a distraction. I don't want any distractions.
Derek Jeter
What kind of influence did my parents have on my life? Well, they had the most influence. These are the people who are closest to me. My parents are very positive people. They've been supportive. They're always there.
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
A lot of teams, I think, are just happy to make the post-season. Here, you have to win.
Derek Jeter
I always take criticism as a challenge. It's the way I've always looked at it.
Derek Jeter
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
Derek Jeter
That's how you win - pitching and defense.
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.
