I also know the people want to see me succeed in this game and play at the highest level again. My injuries are behind me and it will never happen again! I am at peace with that and my past.

I want to show the world that even in the darkest of places and during the darkest times the light in you can lead to the brightest destinations. #Olahim #HimOlaya #Veo 🤹🏿‍♂️🥷🏿”
