bit finally forward hopefully nice rise target
It's about time. It's just nice to finally contribute. The first one is always the hardest. It's always been that way, and hopefully I can rise a bit and be a better target forward for my teammates, not only here, but also for the Revs.

It comes with just being a little bit more comfortable. I've been a little snake-bit with injuries when opportunities are arising with the national team.

I think that brought a lot of smiles in the locker room. That shows how far we've grown as a team. Now, we just need a championship to prove it.
