Coaches have the worst hours in the world. They go home maybe twice a week. They're sleeping in their office. They're watching film. It's a brutal, brutal job and that's why I respect them so much.

My main focus off the court is to be humble. My mom always told me to be a presentable young man. I'm not going to pretend to be something that I'm not and act a certain way for people. I plan on being myself. I like having a good time, but I still carry myself in an orderly fashion.

Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.

If you think individual, that's how you're going to come off. I've always given 'team' a chance.

You know your goals and what you need to do to get better-just eliminate the bad plays.

My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.
