When I first heard about what the Marin Academy Research Collaborative (MARC), I was immediately drawn to the program due to the the freedom that the program offers. I have always been fascinated by athletic performance and finding what advantages can help athletes to optimal performance. Currently, I am working with Ramon Blakenship, trainer, nutritionist, and owner of Labnasium, who specializes in Metabolic Analyzation Testing.
From a young age, sports and more specially, basketball, has been my greatest passion. I began playing basketball at the age of five and have continued to play competitively to this day. I have played with some of the top ranked high school players in the country and numerous NBA players. Currently, I am the captain of the Marin Academy Mens Varsity team.
My experience in MARC has surpassed all of my initial expectations of the program. Because of MARC, I have been able to take an extra-curricular passion of mine, athletic performance, and integrate it to my academics. This program has helped me realize that I want to continue educating myself on athletic performance in college.
