Q&A with Deon Thompson

Posted Jan 22, 2009
"When I'm at practice I'm still working hard, when I come here to the Dean Dome and I'm lifting weights. But when I go home is when I really struggle and think about things and how I really need to pick it back up. I'm just trying not to be so tough on myself about it and just leave it in God's hands and let him take care of everything and keep working hard. There's nothing you can replace with working hard."
