"There will be things that happen in our in all of our lives that we least expect. But it's not how you fall, it's how you get up.
"It's how you deal with it. It's how you show up. It's how you continue to remain positive and tackle the issues that you're faced with.
"And so that's where my energy is going into. And that's where the everybody every single person in the team is focused on."
