Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.
The challenge I have had to face is being under estimated because of my height. Which has required me to consistently work harder to stand out and earn opportunities. This has also helped me develop a strong work ethic, discipline and mental toughness. I use this as motivation to help me improve on every aspect of my game, especially skill development, decision making and defensive intensity.
