>> It's very hard for me to compare math and football.
I mean they're gratifying in very different ways, but I think I'm blessed to be able
to do very different, but also two things that I'm very passionate about.
But the thing that inspires me to keep doing academics is just that I love math.
It's something I'm very passionate about.
It's not something I do to, you know, make money or anything like that.
It's something I do because I love and I also want to inspire others in mathematics.
The math is a beautiful field that trains your quantitative reasoning,
and that math is a very good base for a number of scientific disciplines.
The most difficult part of managing these two careers is I get really busy,
and I don't have a lot of time for a lot of things other than those two things.
So my life is very much focused on those two things
and certain other things kinda fall by the wayside.
