My dad's a bodybuilder. My whole life I've been taught to train the hard way. I believe in earning strength, not buying it. My grandfather raised me old school: In baseball, you work for whatever you get.
Catchers, they know everything that's going on, on the field. He's a pretty enthusiastic kind of guy. He's a hard worker and I think with young players, you've got to stress the fundamentals and hard work.
Imagine if you came to work and you wanted to be positive, and somebody made a positive situation negative. I don't want to be negative. I've been fighting for 17 years, always negative. Why can't I have something positive done?
I need to work myself into baseball shape. This is part of spring training. I still have to be careful. When the lights come on, I get focused.
