He is determined to win
When asked by ESPN about his physical condition he mentioned “There’s a mission. The mission is to go ahead and win this thing somehow and I know sometimes it doesn’t exactly feel well but hey, that’s what it is. That’s life, that’s sports. We push it, sometimes it breaks but that’s OK, you get back out there and that’s why I got a great PT staff. I’m really good at breaking things and really good at fixing things, so it’s a great relationship.”
