“My greatest motivation to achieve my goals is my Dad. My Dad has been in my corner with me since I was born and he only wants to see me do good. He’s constantly working hard all day just to provide for me and my brothers and he does everything to make sure that we have everything we wanted and if we didn’t get it, he only worked harder to get it for us. My Dad always talks about seeing his boys playing at the next level. Seeing my Dad proud of me and achieving his dreams for us always keeps me going even when I’m too tired or sore to go to a workout or to a practice. I just remember what it is I’m really working for.” – London Gillery
