It was kind of alarming seeing myself with an eye missing, but a great honor to be chosen as Sportsman of the Year. I always thought that award went to someone in horseracing or sailing or golf. Winning the award really made it sink in as to know far I had come as an athlete. It’s a special moment when you are honored in the same fashion as your heroes.
