I am strong. Last year was a very difficult year. When you don't do well and go through many injuries like I did last year, mentally, you've got to be strong. I feel like I had that.

Maybe last year was the year of injuries and things. Maybe from now on, nothing will happen. That's the way I look at it. When negative things happen, you can't look at the negative. You've got to look at the positive. Last year was a difficult year, but this year I feel is going to be a better year.
