“I'm waiting for him to come off the plane, and he comes off in a wheelchair. I'm in the tank, and he's picking me up, telling me, 'Hey, Coach. Don't worry about me, I'm going to be fine. I'll be coming back from this thing faster than anybody ever has,' ... This guy does have a single-minded focus on things of this nature. When he puts his mind to something, he usually gets it.

It's just like fashion modeling: You can get a pretty woman to put on an outfit, but once you send her down the runway, does she know what to do?”
Bill Austin
“You're supposed to get out of a wheelchair. They want you to get up and get around.”
Richard Barrett
“They said they would buy her house, then build her a brand-new bigger house with a wheelchair ramp and pay for her health care for the rest of her life. It just blew me away.”
