“There was a time I was playing a game night with my girl.She went against me and I lost and I didn’t speak to her for about two days,” Parsons said.“That mindset, I just hate to lose.
“I hate the feeling of someone beating me.I hate the feeling of someone stopping me.We’re all tired.We all get tired, that’s normal.We all have injuries, challenges of what we got to go through toget ready for the game.I think those are normal, but what’s not normal and what I tried to develop is, the mentality of pushing when we’re tired, pushing when we’re hurt.It’s challenging but when you get into that space, you find a lot of room to grow in.”
