Quote: “You have 4 years to play ball. Some have only 3, 2, 1 left. You will want this time back for the rest of
your life. Not just the winning. You will miss being a part of a team. You will miss be pushed to do something
bigger than yourself. Don’t have any regrets. Lay it all on the line and you can hold your head high when your
finished.
