It's a lot of hard work, competing and not giving up. I think you get more appreciated the older you get.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's fun when you're winning and performing well, but it's also hard because now you get older, you got responsibilities.
The older I get, the more I believe in practice and work over natural talent and ability.
I was very athletic when I was younger and I am a very competitive person, so I never give up.
Maybe I've lost a little, but I think everyone does over time. People have been writing that I'm getting old every year, and eventually they're going to be right. There's nobody in this game that's doing the same things they once did in the peak years of their career.
The older you get the more you understand what you're doing.
I am fortunate that I have two older brothers, and they have definitely helped me with being competitive just to keep up with them. We were always encouraged to try what we wanted to do. As long as we tried our hardest and did the best we could, it didn't matter what we did.
What kept me going through all the years? More than anything, the love of and respect for competition. That's what it comes down to for me. That's why I do this.
Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old.
I find myself getting associated with a lot of younger people in the game. I still enjoy playing with them, and I think they still enjoy playing with me. As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.
The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.
