A superstition that I have is that I have to have the same routine before every game
The person that inspires me the most is myself because in order to be inspired you have to inspire yourself.
The people that I most admire are my parents because they have sacrificed a lot in order for me to live out my dreams.
The best advice that I have received is, "Calm down."
My advice to young student-athletes is ask yourself, "How bad do you really want this?"
