Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways.

I was an emotional basket case.

I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it's been so long since I've been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.

Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
