The people that inspire me the most are my parents because they have gone through bad times but always helped me succeed through sickness and health.
The person that I most admire is my mother because even through cancer and bad memories, she has managed to raise all her children.
The best advice that I have received is from my father, "The way you practice is the way you play."
My advice to young student-athletes is to always shoot for the highest score and don't slack off.
