I've always practiced every single day what I've learned to some degree. There's not a day that's gone by that my hands aren't moving, my legs aren't kicking, thinking of a throwing technique or what have you.

However, a life-changing event would make him fight another battle as he was diagnosed with cancer. Listen to Mr. Mike Crooks as he tells us his journey and the story of his fight against cancer.
