The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

Friendships, along with love, make life worth living.

There are kids don't want to do something because they're afraid of looking stupid to their peers. There comes a time when they start protecting themselves, instead of extending. I want to make sure that they're always trying to extend themselves.

Confidence shared is better than confidence only in yourself.

Never let a person's weakness get in the way of their strength.

I don't think you play for other people's expectations, you know. You don't go and become a lawyer because your mother or father want you to, you don't become a coach because somebody wants you to.

Effort is fully replenishable. There is no need to save any of it. Leave every bit you have on the playing field
