I love to smile, even through pain.

It's important to believe in yourself and the beauty of your dreams and to not let anyone tell you different.

Being competitive is in my nature. I actually think being competitive saved my life. It's given me the constant drive to be better, and when I was in that hospital bed and that wheelchair, it made me want to get better.

The big thing for me is just continuing to be a beacon of hope. And showing people that nothing is impossible.

ESPN truly is a game changer and has the ability to unite the world through sports, which is something I'm incredibly passionate about.

I thought my sports career was over once I got into a wheelchair. That was the hardest reality I had to face.

It's actually more work for me to not smile than to smile.

Who doesn't like to get dressed up and eat good food?
