It all kind of started when I was back in college. When you walk on, you have to persevere. Thing are not going to be just handed to you. That's what has made me a stronger player and a stronger person today because I've had to go through that adversity. When a setback does happen or a bad game happens or a bad pass happens, I still am confident that I can work through it and get to where I want to go.

Essentially, the whole process, I don't want to have any regrets. A year ago I wasn't even in my first camp and now to be part of the mix is something I'm proud of. I'm just going to go out there and have no regrets and see what happens.
