They believed in me

He also stretched on the fact that his parents, Harrison and Elizabeth, never pushed him into sports; instead, they understood his inclination towards sports and supported him to pursue it.

[Dad] will notice something in there that’s a little off, and sometimes when I think I’m struggling, he’ll tell me I’m doing great. So, it kind of balances out.
