I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game.
As athletes, we're used to reacting quickly. Here, it's 'come, stop, come, stop.' There's a lot of downtime. That's the toughest part of the day.

The game is my life. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
I never thought a role model should be negative.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
