"Every single stage of life presents a different motivation or driving force," Burroughs told the Journal Star. "When I was young, it was recognition, financial security and success. Then it was (making) history. Now it's just trying to maximize the time I have left in the sport. It's enjoying the journey, staying 'present,' and really trying to have as much fun as possible."
A two-time NCAA champion at Nebraska, Burroughs plans to retire -- or at the very least, strongly consider it -- in 2020. He's obviously eyeing the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. First things first, though.
