Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”

　　When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.

　　“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

　　“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

　　“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

　　That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

　　A. made him set a goa
