Every man must sacrifice himself and his feelings for the good of the team.

Each one of you must forget, in all baseball matters, that he is an individual.
He must think of himself only as a spoke in the wheel.
"During the baseball season I want every man of you in bed by nine-thirty.

On the night before a game turn in at eight-thirty.
Make up your minds that there shall be no variation from this.
In the mornings I want every man, when it isn't raining, to go out and jog along the road, in running shoes and sweaters, for twenty minutes without a break; for thirty minutes, instead, on any morning when you can spare the time.
"Whenever you can do so, practice swift, short sprints.

Many a nine, full of otherwise good men, loses a game or a season's record just because this important matter of speedy base running has been neglected.
"Not only this, but I want every one of you to be careful about the method of sprinting.

The man who runs flat-footedly is using up steam and endurance.
