Your ups and downs in sports, I think they are as normal as daily life: One day you wake up and feel great, the next day you wake up and feel maybe less great.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Athletes can be a very stressy bunch. We like routine. I'm a very routined person. If something changes, I really don't like it.
The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out.
I spend a little time every day to play sports.
As you get older, stuff starts to wear down. I can't play four basketball games a week anymore. It takes me three days to recover from one. I'm a little older, a little scrappier. So now I do yoga instead. And whatever else happens in the day, I'm set up in the best way possible. I feel great. I'm so flexible.
I've been playing sports since I was five. For me, there's no happier moment than when I'm out in the woods on a bike or a run. I feel on top of the world, and nothing else makes me feel that way.
Just kidding, I've been very athletic all my life.
You really don't do anything else in your life; it's a very little bubble that you grow up in. And you have to live in that bubble because of the intensity of the sport.
For me, basketball kind of mirrors life. It sounds deep, but the sport has transformed my personality and my daily coping mechanisms. It has meant a lot.
You must relate athletic experiences to life.
You always feel pretty good after a bye, after a couple of days off. Not having a game, you freshen up a little.
