I'll never worry about not being successful. I'll just take it one day at a time, one season at a time. And play as hard as I can.

I am my own person. What I'm doing, I'm happy with it. I'm doing what I want to.

I grew up in a tough neighborhood where a lot of kids were older than me. The older kids decided to pick me on me starting when I was about 6 and it didn't take me long to take a stand for myself.

By doing that and being very competitive, the grown-ups started telling me even back before I started playing organized ball that I was too physical and too advanced for the kids my own age.

I love going out and doing new things.

I taught myself how to pole vault in one day. The next day I entered a meet to pole vault and won it all for the state of Alabama.

But now in this day and age, people are more prone to go out to try new things to enhance their performance on the field - to enhance their physical appearance.
