You read glowing things and it doesn't feel deserved. You read things that are critical and it cuts you to the bone.

For some reason in today's society, people look up to football players and you have a voice. And it's because of that voice you have the opportunity to impact people's lives.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.

I don't gamble at all, all my life. I am only interested in sports.

To be honest, everything in my life outside of tennis is great. I'm doing amazing projects that, if I didn't have time off, I wouldn't be able to focus on.

We have a culture in Freeport, especially in our football department. We feel that we're the best team on Long Island, in New York, hands down.

I'm trying to enjoy my lie as much as I can and I know that tennis hopefully is going to be my life the next 10, 15 years.
