I've found that often, just when you think you've hit a wall, you experience a breakthrough that takes you to new heights in accomplishment

I define myself by everything that I love, everything I can create, everything that I can imagine.

When you set goals, you have to keep them always in mind.

How can I go out there and create value?

So while you're an athlete, and you have that platform, what you want to be able to do is make it work for you as much as possible, because there's going to be life after sports.

The idea of being able to serve as an example, based upon how to process, how to think, how to realize our own dreams, we can pass that down to our children.

When you have a sense of your own identity and a vision of where you want to go in your life, you then have the basis for reaching out to the world and going after your dreams for a better life.
