Going in is really more of an acknowledgment that kids in poverty, in their situations, can get out of it, and it doesn't always come from sports.

If you're going to start something-if it's worth starting-then it's worth finishing. That's what I live by.

There's no fast track, no easy track, especially from where I came from. You try to take the most of it and learn from it and hope others learn from it. That's what it is about.
