There are a lot of good things about being the top pick in the SuperDraft. However, there also comes a lot of pressure with being number one. Did you feel that pressure right away as the top pick. Everybody pays attention to see where the number one pick was going, at least that was what I was thinking. When I first came to the team I was playing a lot and the pressure of staying in the starting lineup was there also.
Any rookie faces pressure to fit in on the team.
As the top pick, you are expected to fill a big role on the team. Looking ahead to 2001, what have you done this offseason to improve your situation with the MetroStars this season. You said before that you were disappointed with the way your first season ended up. This offseason I just went back home and tried to re-focus. I relaxed a little bit, but also did a lot of weight lifting and fitness conditioning.
