“I’m real fortunate to have great family members, to be in a world-class organization where they want to help and make sure that, there is more than just the physical and the mental side, there is the psyche side. There is the emotional side to this game, and as much as you want to shut it off, you have to give yourself a little perspective and understand what’s at stake, but not too much perspective because then you lose your competitive edge, and not zero perspective where you’re just driving yourself into the wall. I’m trying to stay in the middle and just understand that we have a big game ahead, we don’t control our destiny, but we can control the outcome of this game. ”

- Mark Sanchez on how he keeps the criticism in such a healthy perspective.
