You have a lot of ups and downs in coaching especially but I can't remember any bad times at this point. I mean they're all good. A lot of tears when you lose a lot of down times but I can't remember any of them. They're all positive now. Even the bad times were good.

My mom she's from Ireland coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.

As a player I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.

I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality and I thank her every day for providing me for what she sacrificed her life for.

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.

I had an acting coach while I was doing the show and every week I could see my work improving. I really liked working on the show because I was learning new things every day.

When I was 8 years old I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts and put me in a school.

I knew nothing about martial arts. The coach told me I was talented with learning martial arts and put me in a school. Three years later I got my first championship in China.

The biggest difference is in the leadership. It was better for us. We had more coaches and mentors to help us. A lot of the younger players today suffer from a lack of direction.

To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership you have to be obsessed in some way.
