Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.

The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun.

I've always been attracted to things that are taboo. I've never been afraid to go to that dark place.

I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.

I've done my coaching badges, I've got my Pro Licence, but I enjoy what I'm doing now. I'm also the elite performance director of the Welsh FA. The main thing for me was always Liverpool Football Club and my country, Wales - and I'm lucky enough to still be involved with both of them.

I try to remind myself not to go anywhere or do anything without asking for spiritual direction through prayer and meditation.

Ronda's a natural athlete. Just learning a different rule set and bringing what she has from MMA would be the same: does her judo translate to MMA, will her MMA translate to pro wrestling? She's been pretty successful one way, and I think she'll be pretty successful the other way.
