asked decision given plays
For what they've asked me to do, I feel I've made plays when given the opportunities. I think that's why they wanted me back and that's why I made the decision to come back.
decision game given guess learned love past
I'm going to take away a lot from the game that I love so much, that has given me so much. I guess I have learned in the past not to make a decision now - especially going out like this. It's tough.
