My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.

In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.

I'm a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I never wanted to leave Cleveland. My heart will always be in that area - in a perfect world I would have loved to stay.

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'
