In his career, Derek Jeter built his name on winning. During his time with the New York Yankees, that's all Jeter did.
To this day, it sounds like it's still something he strives for.
Jeter recently shared a hilarious story when it comes to teaching his children about sports. In a time when participation trophies and enjoyment are more important for most, the Yankees legend said that he's looking to win.
“Is that you do your best, and you have fun, and you root for your teammates. You understand? And regardless of what happens, mommy and daddy are proud of you,” Jeter told his daughter. “No, you want to have fun, you will have fun. The goal is to win, don’t get it twisted. Win. Beat them down, all of them, you beat 'em down. You run faster, you hear me? You finish, first. That’s what we do, we finish first.”
That's the same mentality that helped define one of the most successful careers in baseball history. Jeter had a lot of personal accolades but as long as the Yankees won, he was happy.
Him saying that to his young daughter is pretty funny and shows the type of guy he is, but we all know that at this point.
