“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.

If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.

I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

Live the moment for the moment.

Obstacles don’t have to stop you.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail.

I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

Anything can happen if you are willing to put in the work and remain open to the possibility. Dreams are realized by effort, determination, passion and staying connected to that sense of who you are.

It’s not about the shoes, it’s what you do in them.

My responsibility is to lead youth, no matter what the circumstances are.

Create your own lane so you can do whatever speed limit you wish to go!

I like playing for the purple and gold. This is where I want to finish up.

It doesn’t matter if you fall down, it’s whether you get back up.

My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.
