It brings a sense of hope for people with disabilities who are so misunderstood, and it brings hope to the people who care for folks with disabilities day in and day out that we will make a difference every year and touch thousands of lives.

Too often people look at the disability only and are quick to diagnose someone or try and figure out what is 'wrong' with them, when they should be treating them as people and looking at what they can do. The men on this trip gain a better understanding of people with disabilities: they grow as people, they learn that service to others is the most important thing that one can do in their lifetime and they also have the sense of accomplishment with their 4,000 miles of cycling.

Push America also builds accessible environments at camps and organizations that support people with disabilities across the country. We are an organization that educates over 6,000 young people a year on the disabled community and challenges they face from day to day.

I only hope we can learn from this game and get better.

I hope not. We're going to come back strong. We have to look forward to the next game. ... Hopefully we'll finally be settled into our routine there in San Antonio. That will help out a lot.

For anybody who thought I lost a step, I hope I showed them.
