Cross country, I like the guys on the team. It’s really fun to do a hard workout with all of them because it makes it a lot easier, and gives you a lot more motivation. Baseball, I really like the data part of baseball and how the numbers work because you can look at how your performance is based on numbers a lot, and I really like to think about it that way.
