I'm going to be here tomorrow. And I started going every day. And that's why I play this sport now. And then I noticed at the higher level, like everyone's so cocky and they write you off.

And I say, Hey, my name is Wally. You know, they'll look at you like, what is this guy doing here? Yeah. Without knowing that I'm a world-class athlete. They're just right.
