She gets up early everyday in the morning to drive me to the tournaments at different courses. She keeps the records and in spite of putting in so much time for me never complains.

You need to trust who you really are, what youreally want to do, and what you want to be. GPJ: Fitness is really important. Tell us about your day-to-day fi tness regime?
