I don't believe in luck. Like I didn't win a lot of races for awhile, and it's because I didn't put myself in position to win enough of them. — © Michael Waltrip

I don't think you have to go hit home runs to win races. I think we can get solid base hits with singles and doubles to put ourselves in a position to win.
Preparing well for a tournament sometimes is not enough to win it as you also need a lot of luck in order to win.
I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform, go out and win races.
I just plan on playing my best and continuing to put myself in a great position to win. I hope to win a 2nd bracelet and hopefully a WPT title.
You don't win races by wishing, you win them by running faster than everyone else does.
But if I played well and prepared myself properly, then all I had to do was control myself and put myself in a position to win.
I've already done enough to prove myself. Win or lose, I think I've done enough to cement my name in the history of this sport. So for me, it's more like I have to win just for an opportunity to get on the mic and say all that.
I was slightly disappointed, but also encouraged, because I put myself in position to win a major, which is all even Tiger says he tries to do.
I don't expect to win enough games to be put on NCAA probation. I just want to win enough to warrant an investigation.
I am disappointed when I don't win, because I want to believe I can win on every horse I ride, which is a ridiculous thing to think. Even if I'm on a horse that I have woken up thinking has no chance, by the time I've reached the course, I'll have convinced myself that it can win and will be disappointed if it doesn't.
Women do not win formula one races, because they simply are not strong enough to resist the G-forces. In the boardroom, it is different. I believe women are better able to marshal their thoughts than men and because they are less egotistical they make fewer assumptions.
Very gifted people, they win and they win, and they are told that they win because they are a winner. That seems like a positive thing to tell children, but ultimately, what that means is when they lose, it must make them a loser.
Only when I saw I could be the first one to win five world cup races in a row did I get some extra motivation to go for it. And after winning five, I said to myself, 'Why not win them all?' The icing on the cake was the World Championship at the end.
As badly as I want a medal, I know there is a lot of luck involved in that. I want to put myself in position to be in the top three, give it my all and hope luck comes my way.
It is really important (to win). It's always like, "You should win; you should win," If I win, I've proven (it) to them... It'd be pretty cool.
I've never been the tallest or the strongest or the fastest. But I'd like to think that I can read the game well enough, that I can position myself well enough, that I can level the playing field when it comes to physical differences. When it comes to height, whoever wants the ball more is going to win it.
