I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.

Designing a product and understanding how it filters through into the market and into the rest of the company is very important to me.

You know, when you go to high school or, you know, when kids are younger and there's not an understanding of differences. But I built up a very strong, thick skin.

The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
