Most importantly, I lived my dream because I gave you 100 percent every step of the way. I would love to continue this relationship, but now it's time to data-face reality. My mind wants to move on, but my body can't take any more pain, wear and tear and stress. I can't put myself in a situation where I disappoint my teammates, fans or the teams I represent."
