Growing up, we played sports nonstop. I mean every single day. As soon I got done with breakfast, I was ready to go.

There were high school coaches such as Charles Boston that took me under his wing and taught me the fundamentals of football. And when I went to college there was Robert Hill who took me there and he showed me what hard work and determination would do if you put forth the effort and you take a little time.
