Q.
What is your motivation when don't feel like working out, running that extra mile,
or waking up early?
"You have to see the bigger picture and always
look ahead. There is always a goal that needs to reach. There are definitely times
when you don't want to get up and go for that run, but something inside you tells
you to do it. Practice, repetition… the more you do something, the more it
becomes habit."
Q. Was there a time in your life
when you thought about giving up the game?
"I think everyone has their
ups and downs. There are times when the season just continues to go and you just
want the end of the season. Like I tell kids every time I talk to them, we have
options. I can work 9 to 5, but I'm getting paid to do something that I love to
do. I am playing a sport every day, and they want to pay me. I'm okay with that."
Q.
What are some other goals you've set for yourselves off the court that you are
interested in or pursuing?
"I love kids. Hopefully I'll have a couple
of my own, so I'll probably end up doing something with them. For years I had
wanted to open up a day care center, so maybe that is something I can pursue in
the future."
