I think all players reach a point in their career where it's natural to lose some of that hunger, that desire, to sort of break out or be a star.

That's a part that's always a challenge for athletes: trying to keep the passion alive while knowing it's still your job. There's no question that at some point, probably sooner rather than later, I'll be pretty burned out. And when that time comes, then I'll take a step back and take a look at it and see if I want to keep going.

I want to be a positive influence. I want to be someone who they want to call in and want here consistently, regardless of my role.
