The New York Times, in talking about the Yankees hiring a sports psychologist, somehow manages to add to the "Gary Sheffield is a prick" perception:
... Sheffield said he once tried using a mental coach and discovered that it did not help him.That's great, Mr Sheffield. It's one thing to say "I don't think I need a coach", it's another to dismiss sports psychologists as for the "weak-minded".
"I don't believe in it," Sheffield said. "I think it's for people who are weak-minded. I think there are people who need someone there for them. It's not for me.
Incidentally, the phrase "Mr Sheffield" makes me think of Fran Drescher's nasal voice in "The Nanny"...
