I Was Hurting. I Had Some Ailments

There's Nobody Else On The Face Of This Earth That's Playing A Sport At A Highest Level... With A Transplant. That Alone Continues To Inspire Me, Because I Realize Throughout The Whole World The Struggles That People Are Going Through. I Need To Inspire Them The Best Way I Can.

So Many People Feel That Once You Reach A Certain Age Then It's Time For You To Retire From A Sport You Love. I Don't Think That's True At All. I Think Age Should Not Dictate That.

I Feel That Each And Every One Of Us As Individuals Has A Responsibility To One Another. None Of Us Would Be Here Without The Help Of Someone Else - Whether It Be Guardians, Teachers, Parents, Relatives, Etc. - Someone Contributed To Your Well Being As A Person. We're All Connected In So Many Different Ways.

I Was Hurting. I Had Some Ailments I Was Dealing With. It's Not Like I Was Holding Out.
