It's funny, you can get over the win pretty quick and get ready for the next opponent. When you lose, it just eats at you.... What could we have done? What should I have done? All those things. Just part of playing professional sports and sports in general.

As a competitor and an athlete, you love that you get to go back and challenge someone, especially the world champs.

It's easy to say you're more mature because all of a sudden you have a child, but it's a process.

Everyone runs their own race.

When you're younger, it's about 'How can I get better? How can I become the player that I want to be?' As you get older, it's 'How can this football team improve?' While all along getting better along the way.

Work hard, do things the right way, and things will go your way.

It's just like high school. If you're a freshman or a sophomore, it's hard to tell the seniors who've been through two, three, playoff games what to do.
