There was a lot of love in the crowd today,”The nerves go away,”I’m super confident in what I can do out there. I have a lot of faith in myself. So nerves? It was more excitement than nerves. “To be here, in one of the most historic arenas in the world, having the family watch, hear my mom yelling … today was an amazing day.”For us, it was about what is our identity?” Jackson said. “You have to find an identity as a team.
