I love the quote “ I am not a quitter.” It is so powerful to say those words out loud. When times are tough I believe it is one of our greatest strengths as humans to be able to find that next gear to dig just a little bit deeper, and believe in the possibilities. It has helped me on many occasions throughout life and my sporting career. It is also a great reminder of how Terry never gave up.
