"Everyone has this fear of failure ... But it's always going to happen in life. But that moment I was like, 'I am definitely not failing. I am going to ride this out for as long as possible. And they are not going to break me.' Everything that was going on, it was not going to break me. This was the game. And I am going to stand here and take it all, punch after punch."
