Football taught me how hard you had to work to achieve something.
An important mentor for me, in terms of teaching me that there's a right way and a wrong way to do things, was probably my football coach. And playing football was one of the first times in my life that I realized nothing is given to you. You have to work really hard.
When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.
