The first game of my senior year, I'm in great shape, but unfortunately I broke my foot.

I had never been hurt a day in my life, my very first game I broke my foot.

I threw me a pity party.

My trainer came to me since Walter, we can get you back for the big 10 season.

We can get you back, son.

We can get you right back in five weeks.

I said, Roger, when I come out of surgery, I want you to take me to the stationary bike.

Put me on the bike and take my cast to the pedal.

But Walter, when you come out of surgery, you're going to be on more feeling it.

You won't feel like it.

Go back and rest.

I said, Roger, I don't have time to rest.

Can you do that favor for me?

Can you take me to the stationary bike?

Put me on the bike and take my cast to the pedal.

As soon as surgery was over, he carried me to the stationary bike.

Put me on that bike and he taped my cast to the pedal.

And I had a customary workout.

I was symbolic that I don't have time to rest.

I had tears on my eyes as I peddled that bike, and I talked to myself.

I can't quit.

I can't give up.
