After I hurt the knee, football wasn't nearly as much fun. I was limited. But you make do with what you have. I adjusted some.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.
