I think it's the mark of a great player to be confident in tough situations.

I had a coach that was not a great player, but he taught with kids and juniors so that by the time he was 50 he was great. He helped me make the top 5 in the world and yet he wasn't a great player himself.

Tough Streets Of Chicago
Tough streets of Chicago, you made me who I am.
Tough streets of Chicago, for me you had a plan.
You forced me to observe, what kids my age did not.
You taught me to look and see, always looking for a plot.
You taught me to react, and kept me on my toes.
You taught me to examine, the actions of my foes.
You forced me to react, in situations dire.
You made sure I would function, when I came under fire.
You made sure I was tough, made sure I'd understand,
the skills that I would need, when I joined uncle Sam.
Tough streets of Chicago, I almost went insane.
Tough streets of Chicago, you caused me so much pain.
You made me grow up fast, always dodging death.
You made me run from danger, could hardly catch my breath.
You took most of my friends, why, I'll never understand.
You made it possible to count, all my friends on one hand.
You took them in their teens, you took them very young.
You took them way before, to live they had begun.
Tough streets of Chicago, my tour is almost up.
Tough streets of Chicago, with your gangster posting up.
Tough streets of Chicago, can't get you off my mind.
Tough streets of Chicago, I miss those streets of mine.
Tough streets of Chicago...............................

The mark of a great player is in his ability to come back. The great champions have all come back from defeat.
I want to be a positive influence in little girls' eyes. Little girls need to be confident and grow up with a healthy state of mind. It's a tough, tough world out there.

The Way It Went
But I'm a nice guy,
You know there are situations where I want to be that other guy,
I'm glad,
i'm me,
I'm glad,
I'm confident in what I say,
How I express my emotions,
That's what keeps me happy,
It's all about being honest,
Confident,
As long as you can take pride,
Pride in the way you dealt with the situation,
Yea it's all fun and games,
At the end of the day,
Its about being true,
True to yourself,
True to others,
It's about being happy.

I really believe the only thing you can control in those situations is what you do as a player but also how you interact with your teammates, which is critical.

Bye Bye Bye
i'm doing this tonight
you're probably gonna start a fight
i know this can't be right
hey baby c'mon
i loved you endlessly
and you weren't there for me
so now it's time to leave and make it alone
i know that i can't take no more
it ain't no lie
i wanna see you out that door
baby bye bye bye
don't wanna be a fool for you
just another player in your game for two
you may hate me but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye
don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I've had enough
it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye
just hit me with the truth
girl you're more than welcome to
so give me one good reason
baby c'mon
i lived for you and me
and now I've really come to see
that life would be much better once you're gone
i know that i can't take no more
it ain't no lie
i wanna see you out that door
baby bye bye bye
(chorus)
i'm givin' up i know for sure
i don't wanna be the reason for your love no
more
bye bye
i'm checking out i'm signing off
i don't wannna be the loser and i've had enough
i don't wanna be your fool
in this game for two
so i'm leavin' you behind
bye bye bye
i don't wanna make it tough
but i've had enough
and it ain't no lie
bye bye
i don't wanna be a fool for you
just another player in your game for two
i don't wanna be your fool
but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye
don't really wanna make it tough
i just wanna tell you that i've had enough
it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
baby bye bye bye

Jaffa
Some say he well might be a football great
But he has major problems with his weight
He find the footy training tough and hard
And his legs refuse to run that extra yard.
A powerful man just under six foot tall
And just a few pounds short of fifteen stone
When Jaffa crashes goalwards with the ball
You hear those opposition players groan.
A top player with the Warby football team
And in Warburton his is a household name
He gives and takes the knocks and lets off steam
And after tells you 'it's all in the game'.
He struggles for to keep those kilos down
Big Jaffa man I meet every week day
But his weight his one great barrier to renown
At least that's what some football followers say.
A handsome fellow of sturdy build and tough
And quite ferocious on the field of play
And the powerful build of him seems quite enough
I'd rather face Mike Tyson any day.

Un-believable Situations
Un-believable situations,
Leave a lump in a throat.
And those,
Un-believable situations...
Can leave a weight on shoulders,
Whether one is young on older.
No matter who's brave or bold.
Stricken with heat or fever,
No matter who's brave or bold.
Those un-believable situations,
Can warm a heart...
Or turn it cold.
Few are prepared for what they can not see.
When surprised by situations.
Many choke up and can not breathe,
When confronted by situations...
Shocking and unbelieved.
Stricken with heat or fever,
No matter who's brave or bold.
Those un-believable situations,
Can warm a heart...
Or turn it cold.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.

It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.

Everything The Others Ate Had Been Great
When will I ever write 'something' you like?
Probably never.
Since you seek to have your appetite pleased...
And I will never cater to those who player hate.
'Who said I player hated? '
You had no problem eating,
Everything I prepared and dished upon your plate.
Until someone mentioned that I was the cook.
And everything the others ate had been great.
Up until 'then' you munched and grinned.
And then when my name was mentioned...
You proceeded to whip out,
A pad and pen!
'Who said I player hated?
I just happened to have lost my appetite.
It had nothing to do with you beaming,
Or the fact you appeared to block out my light! '

Without getting real personal, we liked our bass player Ed. He was a great guy and he was a good bass player but his playing was suited for a different style of band.
