And for me, I want to chase my dreams.

And sometimes those two things don't always go hand in hand.

So I had to get real quiet with kind of all the noise around me and get real loud with my self-talk and what I was feeding myself.

It was definitely in college.

I remember after my third year, David Shaw was my head coach at the time.

And we always do end-of-year evaluations.

Coaches will tell you, this is what you did well this year.

This is where I think you can improve.

And I remember he came to me.

We're sitting in his office.

And he was like, you know, you're a good player.

You do everything right.

You've made a lot of plays.

But to me right now, it looks like you have your foot in the door.

And the onus is on you.

If you really want to reach your potential, you've got to kick the door in.

And that was kind of the first time that somebody had motivated me in that way to –

to really see myself bigger than I saw myself.

Yeah, thoughts, actions, everything.

I mean, as I've developed in my career, I definitely have a little bit of an obsessive personality.
