I think I'm a pretty tough person with a lot of determination. I really didn't get into a depression or anything like that. I figured I had a choice, and I had to find something else to do and another way to be competitive. I wanted to stay active and continue to work and compete. |
It was very mentally challenging. I don't think I was bothered by the physical aspects of the rehab. But, mentally, it was difficult. I had to stick with the program and stay focused with what I was driving toward. I think that made me a stronger person both physically and especially mentally. |
These are accomplished people in varying capacities, and it's great to be here among them. I'm honored to be here. |
