If you had to swap places with a teammate for a day, who would you choose?

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

In my life, I’m always going to have obstacles in my way, but it depends on how I see them. If I see them in a negative way, I’m not going to go anywhere, but if I see them in a way that will help me be better, I’ll always pass on to the next challenge.

Very casual, mostly in black and white. Sometimes I’ll bring out a little bit more style but I like to dress to normal.
