Progression and achievement belong to those who have learned to use the opportunity of now. Our strides of today will determine our locations tomorrow.

If we could look into each other’s hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

I put the blinders on and just work as hard as I can, and hopefully I'll just continue to be a better player.
