00:00I've had people doubt me for a long time through my life and in some ways, rightfully so.

00:06I mean, I was a very small kid growing up and cared a lot, but there's a lot of people

00:11that care a lot and just don't have the stuff streamed together.

00:15And I was very blessed to have a lot of coaches to come alongside me and teach me and show

00:21me the way.

00:22And I'm very thankful for that and I wouldn't be here today without that.

00:27But with all those doubts and all those things, it's never been about proving other people

00:31wrong.

00:32I think I've lived in that space and it never goes well.

00:35It's been about being who I am, believing in myself and knowing that I can be who I

00:40see myself becoming.

00:42When I've taken that attitude, when I've taken that mindset, that's when I've always been

00:45at my best and I'll continue that.

00:49I know how to navigate these waters.

00:51I've been here before and it's not about the negative energy of trying to prove anything

00:55wrong, anyone else wrong, trying to make anyone else feel bad about anything.

00:58Just about being myself and being who I believe I can be and going out there and playing the

01:02game I love.
