On athletes pursuing their athletic dreams“Go for it. Keep pursuing sports, whatever that sport may be. If it’s field hockey, if it’s lacrosse, if it’s volleyball, go for whatever it is you want to go for because sports can take you places you never thought you could go. They’ll take you to school, they’ll take you around the world. Sometimes you can get clubs when you’re at a young age that will at least take you around the country. I went to St. Louis and Las Vegas and Texas only because I played club volleyball. If you can find a play sports, find a way to play sports. More importantly, if you can find a way to help other kids play sports, find a way to help other kids play sports. Give it back.”
