Q: What separates you from the other pro prospects at your position?

I practice and study a lot of ways to be motivational, so that I’ll always be able to have a clear mind and I tend to push that off on others because I know how impactful it is for me.

Playing D2 gave me the opportunity to show my skills and talents beyond measures and even when I didn’t think it was where I should’ve been, I’ve always remained the same person, no matter the positions, who was better than me or who I was better then. I always kept the same chip on my shoulder and I feel it’s time to get it off.
