The bench erupts with excitement. The crowd goes crazy. As I am cheering I feel a rush of power as I get tackled by Brett, who was just getting off the bench. We go through the line, high-fiving my team. It was perhaps the most excited I think I have ever felt until that moment. It felt like I stepped into a doorway of…

My stomach felt like it was going to just quit on me and I was unable…
