Until my senior year, baseball and basketball were my best sports; and even when I was a senior, I still wanted to play baseball professionally. But the family wanted me to go to college and I guess I agreed with them or else I would have accepted some of the offers I got.

I was a workhorse; there was never a practice that I didn't enjoy.

I don't think that I've ever been a backup.

You learn you can do your best even when its hard, even when you're tired and maybe hurting a little bit. It feels good to show some courage.

I was focused on athletics, outdoors, sports.

My philosophy in life, where I was trying to get, could have been a little bit different.

When you win, nothing hurts.
