“To me the greatest lesson as an athlete and in training is just don’t get greedy. Know that you have to get up and go again the next day. Always save a little bit. I think that is what’s precluding a lot of athletes from longevity and causing a lot of injuries right now. Everybody … More 20.3 Scaled ✅
Well, this morning I saw my first born off as he embarked on his first day of kindergarten. As he drove away in that big yellow school bus, I felt a flood of emotions.
