At the tip of the day, you are taking part in a recreation you like, and it is good to take one thing away from it. These numbers come because of the enjoyment I’m placing into the sport. I really like my recreation, and these are simply by-products. While I’m glad and happy, it is not one thing that drives me anymore,”
