Quotes of the Episode:
“How you do anything is how you do everything. So for a professional athlete, for a CEO, what you’ve done to get to that point, you just have to continue to do it.”
“Be yourself, and own your voice. As a young player, you look at your favorite players or the veterans in the locker room and think you have to be a certain way to attain certain things.”
