Every gym, every jersey, every teammate, coach, and fan has played a role, and this year is my way of saying thank you.”

“At the end of the day, this game has no memory. In the words of Ms. Sue Enquist, the game has no memory. It doesn’t matter. Each point is it’s own new history and why define it based off of what’s happened in the past or a history that you have had and just show up and be in the moment and truly like if you can get your mind there, it’s so beautiful. I think that’s just what makes this sport so cool.”
