Roger Clemens says pressure will eventually expose every weakness in your preparation, so he trains his focus at an unreal level “Pressure will find your weaknesses. That’s why we practice perfect. That’s why my bullpen sessions are locked in, intense.” “I’m doing a 12-minute bullpen in between starts. I... might be starting Game 3. Or it might just be a Wednesday afternoon business special. It might be as simple as that. Not what you would consider a big game.” “I’m doing this and I’ve got guys moving over here. Or the lawn guy. Or I’ve got somebody talking. No. No. No. Stop. Because I want to be right here.” “My first three starts in spring training, where you’re going one or two innings, I can hear the popcorn vendor. I'm locked in.” “I can see guys moving in the dugout. I can hear my sister or somebody yelling for me. By my last two starts of spring training, it’s just like that movie, For The Love of The Game with Kevin Costner.” “I don’t hear anything. I see the catcher. And it’s a game within a game. I've had wonderful catchers, and I call them out and say sit still, you're moving too much. I'm painting a picture, sit still, trust your hands, and I'm gonna get it to you.”show more

Vince Carter says he had to reinvent himself when he became a bench player “Dunking was the thing and that’s what got me here. Fine. I got in the door. Now let’s fine tune these skills to stay here. When I became a bench player… I got to Dallas, I told them, ‘I’m comfortable with my game, bro. It’s just, can I still be a dominant player in my new role?’” “So I started watching Vinnie Johnson tapes. Then I started watching Ginóbili and Jason Terry. Guys like that who are great sixth men and how do they prepare, but still be me.” “Now this is my moment. My game starts now. When I check in the game, that’s my time now. So I just was able to adjust. That’s what I tell young kids. It’s like, okay, if you don’t start, so what?” “There’s a lot of players in this league who start that don’t finish games. Would you rather be in the game in the last two, three minutes? Closers get paid. Finishers get paid.”

Therapist Trey Tucker came on Relatable to talk about anxiety. I asked him, "If you could define anxiety, how would you define it?" Tucker: "Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown. The verse, 'Be still and know that I am God' used to make me so angry. I'm like, God, what do you mean be still? Like, I got a real problem here. I'm in a storm. Why do you want me to just be still? And what I realized is that the word, and I believe it's "Rapha" in the Hebrew, it doesn’t mean just ‘don’t move.’ It means ‘release your grip.’ The idea that I thought that I had control, that was a lie anyway. If I can start to realize like, yes, the circumstances might happen that are negative or I might be in the middle of a battle right now, but if I can loosen my grip and stop white knuckling it, then I can realize that like oh—God is God, not me, and He’s going to take care of me no matter what happens. That really is the solution to anxiety. It’s not changing your circumstances or slapping meds on it.”

Mike Conley on why he doesn’t see a 20 minute role for himself moving forward “I’m getting older man(laughs), that’s one thing, but I just think that it’s their opportunity more than it is mine… they’re right before their prime or in their prime. They should be getting these runs, they should be getting these big minutes… I’ve done all that, and I can be the stop gap here and there or the pinch hitter when you need me or whatever you need, but I’m prepared for that… like I said, I’m just happy to be here and help the guys as much as I can”

Saturday Karaoke Misty, by Cantonese Cat Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree; And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud I can't understand I get misty, just holding your hand Walk my way And a thousand violins begin to play Or it might be the sound of your hello That music I hear I get misty, the moment you're near Can't you see that you're leading me on? And it's just what I want you to do Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost That's why I'm following you On my own Would I wander through this wonderland alone Never knowing my right foot from my left My hat from my glove I'm too misty, and too much in love Too misty And too much In love

LeBron James on WHY he’s still playing: “My why has been that I’m still playing this game at a high level and I still love the process… Putting in the work, inspiring, and giving what I got to the game… The drive of how much juice I can squeeze out of this orange… I’m in a battle with Father Time, and I’m kind of taking it personal. I’m gonna see how many more times I can be victorious over him.” 🐐 (via Spectrum SportsNet)

Steph Curry says one of his favorite compliments is when someone guarding him tells him to stop moving so much during a game: “I had that perspective that I had to be the most well-conditioned. Even if I didn’t really know how to maximize at the time. It’s one of my favorite compliments that I get in the middle of a game. Somebody guarding me at a free-throw dead ball or something. We stand next to each other come and be like, ‘Yo, stop moving so much.’ Or ask me like, ‘Yo, can I work out with you this time? I need to know what you be doing.’ So I kind of understood it was a difference maker.” (via The Athletic Show with Marcus Thompson II)

Freddie Freeman says he congratulates opposing hitters at first base “If you get a hit, I’m saying, ‘Nice hit.’ You know how hard it is to get a hit in the big leagues?” “I appreciate it. I tell every guy, ‘Nice swing,’ or, ‘Way to swing it.’” “I know my pitchers probably wouldn’t like that.” “We’re playing a game. It’s a kids’ game.” “Sometimes you just forget when you’re going through the grind of the season.” “My favorite is when it’s a big-league debut… And that guy gets his first hit. To be able to say, ‘Congratulations.’ You worked so hard your whole life to get there.” “Sooner rather than later, I’m going to be retired, too. I just like to have fun with all the guys. I know we’re competing against each other… But you guys know it’s a brotherhood.” “When you get to play this game for as long as we’ve got to… You’ve just got to enjoy the little moments.”

Kit Harington says that he thought Peter Dinklage was a terrible "ham" actor during their first Game of Thrones scene together. "I remember thinking I've just got to be really still like that's acting for cameras to be as still as I possibly can be and then say my lines and then go back to stillness." "In my head I'm like why is that guy moving so much like he's moving over acting bad actor hand being a ham and then I realized no you're just so much more experienced." " Well in your defense Jon Snow can be sort of a frozen character... a bit more fun than Mr. Killjoy exactly and Mr. do the right thing brings every scene down."

Emilia Clarke reveals she hid her first brain hemorrhage from HBO for two weeks so they wouldn't write her out of Game of Thrones "I wrapped the first season of Game of Thrones. But it flipped my life upside down, so I was quite stressed. And we wrapped that in December and February I was in the gym doing a plank and had my first brain hemorrhage" "And then spent the next 2 weeks with my agent trying to not tell HBO until they knew I wouldn't die" "I was in A&E until they worked out what was wrong with me. Then I went to a different hospital and they were plugging me in and I just kept trying to say I've got to go to work. I can't be here. How long is this going to take? And they're like, your brain is bleeding. It's going to take quite some time" "But as soon as I left hospital I had maybe a month and then I was doing press for the first season of Game of Thrones. Still with a bit of morphine" "I was so ashamed that this thing had happened and that the people who had employed me might see me as weak or see me as something that could be broken. It was so like, 'No, fine. Fine. I'm fine'"

Dawn Staley on a moment when pressure completely paralyzed her, and why the solution was to stop trying to lead like everyone else, and instead be unapologetically herself: “I experienced something I’ve never experienced in my life. I was paralyzed. I can’t do this. You feel the pressure because you’ve got to perform.” “You can’t be the one that dethrones the success that USA has had. I lost sleep.” “I just kind of exhaled and said, ‘I have to do it my way.’” “It’s a lonely place.” “When it’s all said and done, it’s going to be me that failed or got the job done. So I just exhaled and said, ‘I’m going to do it my way.’” “Don’t let this be an opportunity where you’re mad and in your emotions. You’ve got to learn.” “Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you… and you just be the conductor.”

I’m the only person who knows it. “If you think you’re intelligent in all areas, it’s only because, in most areas, you haven’t met someone who’s really intelligent, and you’re deluding yourself. “I’m not sure if I got the advice if I would’ve listened.

Bobby Witt Jr. explains that the pressure to prove you belong can make you abandon the exact habits and identity that earned you the opportunity in the first place “My biggest thing for rookies is, know that you’re a big leaguer. That was the biggest thing for me. You get up here at a young age and can be star struck… There’s this guy, this guy… You can find yourself asking, am I supposed to be here?” “And I just tell them, your talent… The reason why they drafted you… The reason why you’re here… That’s why you’re here. You don’t need to do more. You don’t need to do less.” “But I still, to this day, do that. I want to do more. I want to get to the playoffs. I want to win. I just have to remind myself to know my routine. Know my preparation. Just be Bobby Witt Jr.” “I told one of our rookies when he got called up, just go out there and be Jac. You’re a big leaguer for a reason. Go out there and enjoy it. It could be over like that. Everything you did there got you to this day.” “Keep doing that. Don’t try to do more. Don’t try to do less.”

Yaxel Lendeborg on how he views the significance of the Summer League: “I mean role-wise, I try to be a leader, you know, learn to be one. I was picked the highest here so I have to act like it. But not in the way where it’s like I’m acting like I’m authorized or I’m a priority or something. Just in a way where it’s like there’s going to be a lot of pressure on me and a lot of eyes on me so I have to go out there and not overdo it, but play my role, play my part.”

Whenever I feel there might be a conflict, or if the neighbor likes to be difficult I will always get a survey first before even saying anything. Once that’s in hand I will then let them know I am planning a fence or doing something else. I feel that way they can’t argue with the facts but sometimes they like to anyways. This woman knows the fence isn’t on her property and even avoids it by a few feet. Yet she starts removing the fence as it’s being built, would you stand for this? How do you stop someone who won’t respect the lines? I think the best way is to document everything with paperwork and video. Install a camera so there is proof they are doing what they are doing. I always try to cover my end that’s why I always have cameras everywhere. I never know when I might need it. If I end up in court then it’s no longer here say with evidence. I try to avoid confrontation as much as I can but sometimes it’s unavoidable. I’ve always lived life the way I see fit and I try to always do the right thing. I refuse to let others dictate how I do things especially if my way is proven to be effective. Dealing with stubborn neighbors can be drab but eventually it will work out, it’s the time in between that’s frustrating. The last time I did the fence. The neighbor at first tried to didn’t like the idea she would have a fence on one side of her driveway in case she opened the door and hit it. I explained to her that sometimes there may be kids playing and that I didn’t want a stray toy or ball to hit her house or car. At the end of the day she was reasonable and didn’t give me a hard time from that point on. But I think about how it could have gone awry like how this lady wouldn’t listen to reason.

Lamar Jackson says he watched friends chase fast money while he was playing the long game and counting how many years it would take him to reach the NFL “I’m seeing my friends who I was growing up with who I was playing football with… Just throw their life away for fast money and stuff like that. They used to tell me ‘Oh, you talk too much’. Because I used to always speak about football and positivity stuff. They didn’t want to hear that.” “Now it’s like… They’d rather hear it now because I’m Lamar Jackson. But I’ve been speaking about it. Everybody just wasn’t listening. I was already seeing what was going on. I wish we could go back in time and y’all could see what I was seeing. Because I always looked at life like, I counted years.” “Like I would think… ‘How many years does it take to get to the league?’ They’re saying… ‘You do three years in college.’ I said… ‘I’m doing three years.’ I’m not doing four. I’m not trying to go fifth year. I’m doing three years because I’m going to make sure my family is good.” “If you’re coming from a place like where I come from, don’t try to be like the guys around you. Don’t look up to the stuff that looks like it’s fun… Because sometimes it gets you in trouble.” “It’s sacrificing. ‘Man, I can’t have fun right now. I’ve got to get my family right. I can’t do this right now. I can’t mess up.’ Forget the fast money. I’ve got to think about longevity.” “You can get locked up and do five years for $1,000. That money gone. It’s gone. You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.” “That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…” “So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

You’re like… ‘Man, I just did that for $1,000…’ And I could have waited five years and I would’ve had $10 million.” “That’s why I’m where I’m at right now. That’s how I used to think. My mom working… She’s busting her behind. It’s me, my brother and my two sisters at home. I’m the oldest…” “So I’ve got to make sure everybody right. And it’s like… Man, I can’t wait, but I’ve got to wait. That’s the sacrifice. I’ve got to be patient. People don’t look at it like that. It’s like… ‘Man, I need that money right now.’ But you don’t need that money right now. Just wait.”

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

🐻: “i don’t really have the place to tell you all, ‘please support him’ or ‘please trust him.’ honestly, i don’t feel like i should say that. that’s truly your choice. but for me… since he’s making a decision that i might never be able to make in my lifetime, i think it’s really admirable, and at the same time, i worry about him too. still, i just hope that his choice turns out really, really well, that everything he wants comes true. and that the people who believed in that choice, including me, can also be happy. i think many czennies are still in the process of letting go… or trying to accept it. It took me a long time too. so rather than saying too much, i think it might be better for us to just let time pass.”

Stephen A. Smith to Andraya Carter: "I am telling you right now you are going to be underpaid for the rest of what I believe will be an illustrious career unless you get your mind right about that marketing. It matters." Andraya: "I hear you, Stephen A. But I will not sacrifice my basketball knowledge and my integrity in terms of the game for marketing. My marketing is doing just fine."

Q: “What has it meant to play for Coach Skylar Meade these last few years?” Andrew Riedell Steven Meier: “It’s the best coach in college baseball, it’s the best coach I’ve ever had. It’s the balance of being coached, and taught, and sometimes, you know, got MF’d in the dugout, and that’s okay, but also being so free, and being able to just play your game. You don’t feel judged, or you don’t feel like you’re in a box. I’ve been there before, and that’s just so defeating as a ballplayer.” Blake Cavill: “There’s not many places in the country that let me be me because, you know, I could be a little crazy sometimes, but Skylar lets me get away with it most of the time. Sometimes he’ll be in my ear, ‘cut it out a little bit,’ or sometimes he’ll be like, ‘hey, let it eat today.’ There’s no one you’d rather play for. Except he never gave me one inning on the mound.”
