There were many times that I took such a big hit that I was dazed; I'm not going to lie. I'd see black, but I'm still looking for the puck. Where's the play going? I'm going to keep going. Same thing in figure skating. If I take a hard fall, I'm going to get up, and I'm going to do the next jump.

Before I broke my back, I was really looking forward to playing hockey at the University of Michigan. That was my biggest goal.

I push myself as hard as I can every day so I can achieve my goals and so I feel I have nothing to regret later on after my career.

Anything is possible. No one understands how far you can push your body to the limit, and I like to play with that.

The busier you get, and the more forward-looking you become, the more difficult it is to actually acknowledge and gain strength and inspiration from the things you've already accomplished, which can become problematic when you're in a startup.

It brings a smile to my face every time I look in the record book and see my name with the likes of Hutson and Lance Alworth and Raymond Berry, some of the fabled receivers of the NFL. It's all like a dream to me. I can't believe it's true.

I'm motivated to keep going to keep making a difference in people's lives.

You have to believe in your dreams every day, work hard in training, and - above all - listen to the advice of the manager and your parents.
