Personal Quote: "At the end of a season, we don't take the scores with us on our future endeavors. Rather the experiences, the engagements with others, and the enjoyment found in both the victories and defeats become our passions, connections, and lessons that will guide us in our day to day lives. Reflect frequently, be grateful often, and pay it forward every chance you get."
