Letting Your Talent Just Take Over

Joe Girardi, former catcher for the New York Yankees, when asked what it was that made his teammate, future Hall of Fame shortstop, Derek Jeter special he said: "He was so special because he was relaxed. He was relaxed as any player I have ever played with. When you are able to relax you allow your body to do the things that it can do. There are a lot of players that get tense in situations. They jump at the ball. They get too anxious. They don't see the ball good. Derek's not afraid because he lets his talent and his atheletic ability just take over. He was always fun to play with and you always wished as a player that you could relax as much as he could."
