My whole life, I grew up undersized. Playing sports like basketball and volleyball didn't make it easier. One day I asked my dad how I'm supposed to be successful when I can't change my height. This is when he introduced me to Muggsy Bogues: “Muggsy was one of the best stories I've seen growing up. Playing in a league where the average height was 6' 6,” he was proof that success comes in all shapes and sizes.” This stuck with me throughout my whole life, and everytime I'm faced with a challenge where the odds are against me, I think back to this quote.
