I listen to myself. I listen to my body, my mind, I follow my heart.

I listen to myself. I listen to my body, my mind, I follow my heart.

I was hurting. I had some ailments I was dealing with. It's not like I was holding out.

You can want and hope, or you can make it happen.

So many people feel that once you reach a certain age then it's time for you to retire from a sport you love. I don't think that's true at all. I think age should not dictate that.

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. And I've been through some tough times, and I know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don't last.

There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me, because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can.
