>> So I am a lifelong athlete.
I feel like I was really excited and, you know, really grateful to have
so many opportunities when I was growing up.
I played soccer, I played lacrosse, I always had incredible coaches, and as I got older
and my time with Mona and my first job was in New York City I realized
that not every kid had those opportunities either
to have a great coach or actually even to play sports.
And so I think that all the powerful things and valuable things that I got from sports I wanted
to make sure that coaches were able to teach but also that young people were able to access
and so I think that's really what gets me out of bed in the morning.
