“I’ve been lucky, man. Kelsey’s been great, and she understands because she was an athlete. She understands the sacrifices I have to make. I have to be away from home. I have to train two or three times a day and be tired."
Holtzman said.
“So, she’s been great. I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s probably the only way that I would be able to have somebody marry me is if they understood.”
