My mom was always there. Even if she got off work late sometimes, I still went to practice, whether I was 30 minutes late, 45 minutes late... I was still going to practice.

It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.

If I've got to come out for a few plays in order to get back right and make sure I catch my wind so I can be ready for the next play, I'll do that.

I just want to continue getting better and build as a player.

It's actually a blessing to be able to walk off that field win, lose or draw. If you walk off that field healthy, that's the important thing.

Really, those 60 minutes when I am on the field is my time to enjoy myself, and I don't have to worry about anything, play the game that I love.
