I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.

Through climbing, I've learned to find goals and work toward them. That's just the way I love to live.

Every time I step on the field, I step on the field to make plays.

I rolled myself up into a tight ball of resistance and it was thus that I went through my school years.

I was an athlete growing up. I was a wrestler, I played football, so I can take a fall. I actually wanted to be a stuntman when I was kid, so I would practice falling down the stairs. It's just something I like to do.

I learned early on to never walk while I was on the ball field. I ran everywhere I went.

When I got into high school, I got really into basketball. I had this itch that I wanted to just move. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew that if basketball became a scholarship or something, it would be a means to that. It turned out I couldn't jump that high.

My first job ever was on 'Peak Practice.' I just had to walk up the stairs. They kept the take where I slipped slightly, which was annoying.

I just try to focus on one step at a time, what I have to do or what the team has to do to get here.
