He teaches me to never give up on what I do! If I want to be great, I have to work for it! If I want to be part of a champoinship team, I can’t be selfish! I Have to be unselfish in order to win with an unselfish team!What my mentor taught about me dealing with failure:
There is a type of failure but, I choose if I want to fail or if I want to succed! If I do everything to my potential and I know I gave it my all, I’m a winner and I did not fail!
Best advice from mentor:
Act like a team, Play like a team, and WIN as a team, and never give up on one another! Brotherhood is a key thing to football!
