Growing up, I was a Detroit Pistons fan, being from Flint. During not the Bad Boys but Chauncey Billups and Ben Wallace era, and growing up, I always wanted to be a Piston.

I was always thankful for the YMCA. Of course, growing up, you don't really think about it, because when you're a kid, you're in your own world. But back then, it was just so much. I'm going to go the Y, hanging out, playing games all day, playing basketball.

Coming from Flint, I was really immature on the court and off the court.

Growing up, I was always that kid that kinda watched All-Star Weekend on TV, every event.

I'm convinced that promoting sport is an intelligent way of educating our children.

The sport is about finding the horses. But to find another Valegro is impossible.

I have been keeping myself fit. I am going on holiday next week in the Mediterranean so that I can really unwind after the football season and have a rest.

I can be very emotional, so when it's the build-up to a game I enjoy that side of trying to help push the team and get them fired up.
