People don't realize the amount of stress you put on your body both physically and mentally from just the wear and tear of a season.
I had the opportunity at Duke to start doing things in the community, and it's something I continue to do even 20 years later.
I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.
