Motivation Quote by Yogi Berra

"We have deep depth" is peak Yogi Berra: a jumbled little koan that lands because sports talk is already half-cliche, half-superstition. As an athlete, Berra wasn’t trying to coin philosophy; he was doing what competitors do in front of microphones - compressing a messy reality (injuries, slumps, chemistry, luck) into a confident sound bite. The genius is that his confidence survives the redundancy. "Depth" is already deep by definition, yet the extra adjective performs the emotion coaches actually mean: not just a long roster, but a bench you trust when the season gets ugly.

The subtext is reassurance, bordering on salesmanship. Berra frames a team’s strength as structural, not streaky: we’re not relying on one star or one hot week; we’ve got layers. That matters in baseball, where attrition is the real opponent and the myth of the “complete team” is a psychological weapon. It also works as a kind of clubhouse shibboleth - the grammar is off, but the message is legible to anyone who’s sat through 162 games and watched plan A evaporate by June.

Culturally, the line belongs to the Berra persona: the accidental poet of American sports. His malapropisms weren’t just mistakes; they were anti-pretension. "We have deep depth" shrugs at polished rhetoric and still delivers what fans want: a simple, sturdy promise that there’s more where that came from.
