Derek Jeter was voted Sports Illustrated magazine's sportsman of the year. It suggests a list of his dislikes:
1. Individuals who don't care about winning.
2. Self-promoters.
3. Measuring success by individual statistics.
4. Injury talk. "You either play or you don't play. If you're playing, nobody wants to know what's bothering you. Sometimes it's a built-in excuse for failing."
5. Negativity. "We weren't alowed to use the word can't - 'I can't do this, can't do that.' My mom would say, 'What? No.' She's always positive. I don't like people always talking about the negative, negative, negative, becasue once you get caught in that mind-set, it's hard to get out of it."
