I never really have any major resolutions. I do try to be a good person, to be a good mom, to be a good wife, I don't really start the year off on January 1, 'Oh, I am now going to make a big change.' I try every day when I wake up to be good to the people around me.
I have had players who are good, and who know they are good; I have had players who are bad and
know they are bad; I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good; I have had

Not bad.
