My body caught up with myself. And that's when I was really able to excel and really able to achieve the dream and make it come true. But that moment in that pickup truck, boy, when you have a parent or a coach or somebody that sees your greatness, which is pretty rare, most of them do like your coach did, like you're too small, like my coach did, or you're too slow. My coach said I was too small.

I knew that was really important for my development and for me reaching my dreams. And I, you know how like when you grow up and you start being around other kids and you're getting to be an adult and you realize that not everybody had a dad like me.
