Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different ways.

It's great to learn more about sports I'm probably less familiar with - stock car racing, rodeo, e-sports - and realize that a lot of the people at the center of those sports bring the same level of passion, commitment and disciple that I try to with football.
