A Quote by Kym Whitley

That made me strong.
Sports became a way for me to find my personality and identity in life. I had a lot of problems as a young kid like we all do with my own confidence, trying to grow up, and become a man and whatnot.

I would say it's the one thing that's kept me going over the years.
