I played college soccer before I was hurt, and just to be able to jump back into something that you could be so competitive at or you can achieve, to get to the Paralympics, that's the first really big achievement that you can have. It's the second biggest sporting event in the world. To be a part of it and to get a medal for that, it's unreal.

Focus on what you want to do, don't be scared to try stuff. You only live once. You gotta take risks at times

People aren't familiar with wheelchair sports. The only film crew in Athens for the Paralympics was the documentary crew.

Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.

You break your neck, you don't know what's going to happen. I mean, it's foreign. You're in this body that you thought you were - that you were accustomed to, and now you're not. You have to figure out everything. I think the biggest thing for me was getting a license, because it gives you - it gives you your independence back.

Life's too short not to laugh about yourself and the cards you're dealt.
