But Schuerholz says what he
does know is that "our environment is unwavering.
It is not an environment of accommodation. It is steadfast.
It is consistent. It is principled and you fit into
that environment. I don’t have any reason to

It’s easier for guys who are individuals and
who have been accommodated all their
lives...to expect to be coddled because
they always have been...but over here
they are not."

would again make the National League playoffs. It is inconceivable
that the team’s run will continue ad infi nitum. What is
conceivable, however, is that given his track record, his skill
as an executive, and his unwavering leadership style, John
Schuerholz will forever keep the Braves in the thick of the
race. They will always be "Built to Win."
"Your conversation is your
personal advertisement;
for every time."
– John Schuerholz from Built to Win
