“Akron, Ohio, is my home. I will always be here. I'm still working out at my old high school.”

My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?'
When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?
Akron, Ohio, is my home. It will always be remembered. Akron, Ohio, is my life.
