「我以前就面對過考驗我心理、身體和情緒的挑戰，而每一次我都找到了度過的方法。這次受傷是我旅程中的另一個篇章，不是我故事的結局。離開我熱愛的比賽從來都不容易，尤其是在我付出了這麼多才回到這裡之後。但如果說我學到了什麼，那就是逆境不能定義你，你如何回應逆境才能。我以前也被擊倒過，而我總是能重新站起來。這次也不會例外。」
"I’ve faced challenges before that tested me mentally, physically, and emotionally, and I’ve found a way through every single one of them. This injury is another chapter in my journey, not the end of my story. It’s never easy being away from the game I love, especially after everything it took to get back here. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that adversity doesn’t define you. How you respond to it does. I’ve been knocked down before, and I’ve always found a way to get back up. This time will be no different."
