Throughout my life, my mom has been the person that I've always looked up to.

The person who has inspired me my whole life is my Mom, because she taught me commitment. She sacrificed.

In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

I have a rule on my team: when we talk to one another, we look each other right in the eye, because I think it's tough to lie to somebody. You give respect to somebody.
