My strength has been proverb

 My strength has been consistency, playing the same way every day. If you don't, baseball can drive you nuts. You can make a fundamentally sound swing and get a negative return. Then, you can make a poor swing and get a positive return. It is a roller coaster that you can't ride.

 We're playing good ball. The last two or three weeks have been a roller coaster. I'm hoping now we're on the uphill swing.

 " Life can be like a roller coaster...
And just when you think you've had enough,
and your ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round...
You change your mind, throw you hands in the air
and ride the roller coaster all over again.
That's exhilaration...that's living a bit on the edge...that's being ALIVE."

 Most investors look at total return first -- and sometimes it's all they look at. We think that consistent return really focuses in on risk. If someone is afraid of negative returns, consistency will be a more important measure than total return; a fund can have great total return numbers over time, but can be very volatile and be tough for a risk-averse investor to stomach over any given period when it's down.

 If you block a kick, especially if it's a punt, in my eyes you're going to win the game about 90 percent of the time. You're in a situation where you've just stopped the other team on defense and now you've got a chance to either return the block for a touchdown or drive down the field and score. It can make for a 14-point swing. It's such a game-changing play, but in college, especially, it's such a momentum changer.

 It's been a twisty ride, like a roller coaster or something. Every time we make it to the next level in the competition, we're more excited.

 I've always swung the same way. The difference is when I swing and miss, people say, 'He's swinging for the fences.' But when I swing and make contact people say, 'That's a nice swing.' But there's no difference, it's the same swing.

 I'm not advocating we take the first pitch every time we walk up there. But, if you're going to take a swing at a first pitch, have it be a really good swing. If we keep preaching that, there won't have to be a whole lot said if you make a weak out on a marginally bad first pitch. It's not the way you play winning baseball.

 It's been a big roller-coaster ride, but that makes it that much sweeter. We've been through a lot of ups and downs. That's what perseverance and mental toughness are all about: how you respond to negative times.

 I had been struggling with my driver the entire week, ... then all of a sudden I make the best swing. It's a great feeling to make your best swing when you actually had to.
  Tiger Woods

 We're learning how to win by doing the little things. The season is a roller coaster ride, and the key is not to get too high or too low. We're not where we want to be, but if we keep playing the way we've been playing, we'll be where we need to be.

 The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity. He has the finest, fundamentally sound golf swing I've ever seen.

 I played great for 16 holes today. That just goes to show you ... all you need is one poor swing under these conditions, and you're writing a 6 on the card. In my case, I made a bad club choice and one poor swing and it added up to 6-6. I'm not the first person that's done that. And I certainly won't be the last.

 Consumers understand that retailers have implemented very specific return policies for a reason. While retailers want to make the return process as simple as possible for their customers, they also have developed policies that make it incredibly challenging for anyone trying to commit return fraud.

 He's helped me a lot, talking about the swing and different approaches. It's been a big help -- just to be able to apply that and make a good pass every time. Even if I do make an out, it feels like a good swing.
