00:00 over the last four or five years?
00:02 It really feels great.
00:04 Sure, I didn't expect it to be a touchdown,
00:07 but I prepared for this all year.
00:12 I set my goals at the beginning of the year
00:14 to be a thousand yards back,
00:16 and I made sure I held on to my goal.
00:20 To that.
00:22 They pretty much just kept giving me positive feedback
00:28 on what I've got to do to become a better person in life,
00:31 not only on the field, but off the field.
00:37 Who are those role models?
00:40 My mom and my dad and my old coach, baseball coach.
00:45 He's been with me since I was like six years old.
00:48 He's been my mentor ever since then.
00:52 Congrats.
00:53 There was a moment where the Jumbotron caught you
00:56 with your family.
00:58 Who was that that you came over and shared that special moment with?
01:00 That was my mother.
01:02 What was that moment like for you?
01:05 An incredible moment.
01:07 Something that I can never imagine doing at this time
01:12 and this point on this stage.
01:15 It really brought tears to my eyes to see my mom
01:19 happy and full of joy.
01:22 Right now, I'm feeling it with myself, as you can hear it in my voice.
