We play because we love the game, we love each other, and we love to win.
Sports are not about awards or world championships, though those are great. They're about the relationships we have with each other.
I don't like to play rough, but I will if I have to.
I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.
You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again.
Sports can do so much. They've given me a framework: meeting new people, confidence, self-esteem, discipline, motivation. All these things I learned, whether I knew I was learning them or not, through sports.
