Q: You could meet one sports figure, living or dead (1) who would it be and (2) what is the first thing you would ask them?

Q: Is there anything you wish we would have asked you? If so, what is the question/answer?
A: Maybe, if there have been any setbacks in sports/life. – In May 2021 I went thru a kidney transplant in which the donor was my mom. It was quite a trip back but with hard work, I was back on the field fully cleared to participate in this past season and anything else I plan on doing.
