Football taught me resilience and how to keep going when things got hard. Stepping away after two concussions wasn’t easy, but it showed me that strength also means knowing when to stop.

Lacrosse taught me toughness in a different way.  Staying sharp, trusting teammates, and responding quickly under pressure. It showed me that resilience isn’t just physical, but mental and collective.  Always remembering that ground balls win games. Unfortunately a sport I had to drop due to my concussions.  

Track taught me that strength alone isn’t enough. As a thrower, I learned that technique, patience, and mindset are just as important as power.
