“To anyone who feels left out or is afraid of trying their best for fear of failure, you're not alone. The magic you're looking for is in the will of trying and not giving up. The love of your dream is in your heart. One day you'll look back on your life and appreciate the struggle and have nothing but gratitude for everything that happened along the way. To anyone who's struggling early in the morning or late at night in pursuit of your dream, struggles that many will never see and to any leaders out there who believe in someone who doesn't yet believe in themselves. Keep going. Keep going because will always find a way.”

“I'd love to If you happen to be very lucky when you're 10 years old, you'll have people in your life who tell you the world is anything you want it to be and you'll believe them. And those people will never put limits on your abilities. In return, no matter the circumstances you always try best and you never give up, because that's what you do when you're chasing your dream. If you're lucky, you'll have family, teammates, coaches, mentors, and trainers along the way to help you when you lose faith in yourself, and they'll give you the strength to carry on. If you're lucky, you may get picked last. You may ride the bench, and many times the team may move on without you. And you come to recognize that in return, you're given the chance to earn the greatest edge of all and one that can never be taken away. Will heart?”

“Maybe these work for you. Maybe these work for aspiring athletes. Maybe I can inspire them because I wasn't the kid that was just, it was born to do this, born to be in this position, born to be sitting here.

“It's only with people that I care about. Obviously, I think a lot of people, it's like, if I didn't yell at you, it's because I didn't care about you.
