This link is for a really good story about Greg Maddux as he approaches getting 300 wins in his career for the Cubs, Braves, and Dodgers. One good tidbit:
Maddux still hears the voice of the old man when he pitches, only the voice long ago became so familiar that it now sounds the same as his own. These are the commandments of pitching that he hears:
1) Make the balls look like strikes and the strikes look like balls.
2) Movement and location trump velocity every time.
3) When you're in trouble, think softer. Don't throw harder; locate better.
4) Have fun.
