In basketball, working yourself to death physically pays off to a certain point, but then you have to be careful because you don’t want to get injured. It’s similar here. I have to put things down and go home.
Now it’s time to be a champion in a different court. And this time I get to win on behalf of someone else. That’s the piece I’m really looking forward to.
