Favourite quote: Athletes: Don’t take the sport you play for granted. Everytime you play, you better be damn thankful that you get to do something you love. Don’t show up to practise complaining about not wanting to be there; you’re there hopefully because you love it. Work hard every moment, if you’re not working hard, you don’t deserve to play. Play every practise or game likes its your last because it very well could be. When you finally reach the day that you cant play, and you can only watch, then you will know how much you love something that you once took for granted.
