"As a 15- or 16-year-old, you don't know how to cope with your emotions - being so high, being so upset all the time. I did have a lot of doubts but I had positive parents. They always told me life's not always going to be roses. They are all experiences that you have to go through. But it's definitely helped me and motivated me to this day."
"My dad told me he'd seen one moment during a game where I should have passed the ball to someone, and I shot and missed. And he saw the coach in the distance just shaking his head. From that moment, he knew I wasn't getting signed. I got called into the office and they told me the bad news."
"I remember going back into the car, just being emotional, crying. I decided to concentrate on my schoolwork and enjoying time with friends, spending a year out of the game."
