The person that interviewed was Galen Robison Jr. how plays for the austin spurs basketball team in the g league.

The first question that i asked was what was his biggest motivator when life got rough or you felt like giving up

his answer was: My biggest motivation was my upbringing. Every time an obstacle presented itself i would always revert back to my living conditions from my childhood. Knowing that i’m playing for my family is another motivating factor. If i gave up on myself then i give up them and i’ll never give up on them. I’ve always had an immeasurable sense of pride that made me think i could conquer anything, and the pride that i have would never allow me to not overcome an obstacle.
