Growing up playing tackle football since third grade, I have always felt a drive and passion from the start. My goal has always been to keep pushing to eventually play at the collegiate level, and I believe that I have the talent and work ethic to fulfil my goals. A lot of things have helped my mindset throughout my life, some of them being wrestling and my dad. Wrestling has taught me many life lessons about mental toughness and how it can apply to everything in your life. My dad has always encouraged me to keep driving and has pushed me to be the best I can be from the start.
