"I am just coming from the farm this morning; I spent the night over there [on the farm]; I had to pull up," he said.
"Basically, on the farm, what we do is keep our cattle. I've cattle, and I need to have a solid plan for what I'm going to do to increase the number of cattle."
The young athlete was asked if he wanted to continue owning a farm or if it was just an investment for him aside from athletics.
"Personally, my farm is an investment for me because athletics is not a long-term career; I need to have different opportunities and see what I could channel my money into," he added.
