Author Quotation: "Kids think that if they don't make it in sports, their life is over, but I'm the perfect example that you can still do what you want to do. My best advice is to be resourceful, get out, and meet people within the community. Your network determines your net worth, and I think that's the key to just about anything. You have to get out of your comfort zone. People are used to being comfortable, but one thing I learned in college is that you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable."
