"My mom is the one that inspires me because no matter how tired she was she would still go back to work and cook and provide a lot for my family. I’m passionate about the game because it taught me a lot about life and I’m doing it for all my friends and old teammates that couldn’t continue on as well as my family.

Something I've learned is that no matter where you’re from or whoever your opponent is, it doesn’t matter as long as you have a bigger work ethic. What makes me passionate about coaching younger players is being that coach that my younger self never had. My parents couldn’t afford much and where I’m from there’s rarely any opportunities."
