JIMMY'S WORDS OF WISDOM:
"Try to gain some relevant work experience that is tied to the profession that you ultimately would like to pursue after your athletic career is over."

"Use the qualities used to become an Olympian and devote the same level of discipline, work ethic, and desire to your post athletic career and you will be successful."
