When I look back, that's my thought when we were in there, but I don't have another choice. And that's why I kept pursuing it. What's your other choice? I always tell people, if you have a plan B, go do that because plan B is always easier. But for me, I knew this was the only thing I ever wanted to do.

I love that question. Because if you ask anybody in television about me, they will say that I'm prepared. I'm known for my preparation when I'm preparing for a game. And it's all a safety net.

But it's been four days of preparation or researching, talking to coaches, talking to players, interviewing before I ever get on air for those two hours. The game itself, the speech itself, the cog is the reward. It's the preparation where you really dig in and grow the most.
