I've been fortunate and blessed to further my career in the Arena Football League, and I've had a good time doing it.

My sport taught me what I could do with my talents, whether in the rink or in the rest of my life.

I'm a total rink rat. I can do the toe loop, the lutz, a flip, and the Scholz. That's one I invented. It's like me - you jump, you rotate in the wrong direction, and you land on the wrong foot.

When I came to the high-performance arena, I was kind of a one-off in a lot of ways. I was as much an iron man as much as I was a cricketer. Having surfed, fished, hunted, that was just a natural thing.

I still love playing the game, and it's amazing we can do this as a so-called 'job,' and it's amazing we can come to the rink every day and play the game we love.

The Arena League is the best thing that could have happened to me because I get to run the whole process. I'm seeing not only the football side but the business side.

I love to play the game, love to be around the rink, and love to joke around with my teammates and have some fun.

But now I've been in the arena for 47 years and I stutter less today than I did in those days.
