I got hit a lot. I'm glad I lived through it.
I never did think I had brain damage.
To experience the agony of defeat makes you stronger. It's like taking one step back and two steps forward. To experience the agony of defeat makes you appreciate the experience of winning. That's what makes a champion.
I don't want the kids to go through want I went through.
Opportunity knocks only once. You never know if you'll get another opportunity.
Kids always need a role model. I let them know you can do it, too, if you really want to.
