Since 2000, it's been a privilege and honor for me to be on the competition committee. And our main focus... is player safety.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.
First off, it's wonderful how much people are supporting me and felt I should have stayed in the competition.
It is so important that our federation stands by our athletes.
To be an Olympic athlete is an honour, a privilege. They're so respected. This is my dream. I have to do this.
The athletes are still out competing the same as a Division I team, and I think we've done a good job of creating an atmosphere where they're responsible for their actions and their play.
I love being the favourite of every competition.
I'm a prideful person when it comes to competition.
I'm just here to compete and do the best I can and let things play out and just be the best teammate I can be, regardless of the situation.
I like the fact that we have all the teams in the tournament. When I first got here as an assistant, not everyone made the tournament and I think as a coach, you look at it from a job security standpoint, I think that hurt when you didn't have everybody in the tournament.
Team competition is my priority.
