It's so emotional. You train so hard. I know the hours we put into it.
If people look at me and, certainly, my brothers, and they see strength and guts, they'd have to know my parents. If they wanted to know why we're so close as a family, that closeness comes from my mother and father.
Neither one of my parents played sports at a very high level when they grew up in Nicaragua.
When he was eighteen, my dad went off to college to become an architect.
My mother was the oldest of nine children, five boys and four girls, so she had experience sharing responsibility for a large, sometimes loud group of kids.
Every first Friday, my father would go to confession, and he took very seriously the faith he would someday transmit to us.
