The man above definitely has given us a lot of strength and has given Bronny the strength to bounce back.
“And if (Bronny) was to walk through the door right now, you wouldn’t even know that he had what he had because of how well he’s moving, how vibrant he is. It’s a beautiful thing to be able have him where he is today.’’
