Competition can bring out the best and worst in people. But we need to be better. I need to be better. I get fired up! Not in a super aggressive, call anyone out of their name, fired up. My fired up is a roar at the top of my lungs, fist pump, jump out of my shoes fired up. Most times, I cannot celebrate or cheer like I want to during sporting events because I am supposed to be neutral and not draw attention to myself. I am supposed to use restraint. It is hard to not display any type of emotion...

That changed for me a couple of months ago as I had the chance to tell my life story on Live Under the Big Sky at KLTZ F.M. Radio in Glasgow. My friend Georgie called me about the...
