Future Sports Position: Unknown
I am 23 now and I have been involved in sports for 18 years of my life. My parents had three children, all of which are boys, so they had to find a productive way to release all of the energy in the house. When I was five I began soccer and I continued to play that for seven years. I ended my soccer playing days when I started junior high school and I found my calling in sports tackle football. Since then my life has really revolved around the football season, so much that I would not participate in any of the other activities that I liked to do for fear of getting hurt. Now the other activities that I was participating in during junior high and some to the present was, waterskiing, snowboarding, street hockey, and track. After junior high I went into high school and dropped track and began to power lift and still play football. I started on the varsity football team as a sophomore, I was nominated for the all area team and all league team as a junior (the year we won the valley championship), and my senior year I was nominated for all area, all league, and I was voted the Southern California defensive player of the year. At the beginning of ,y senior year I had received a lot of offers to play college football on a scholarship, until I received two really injuries (torn rotator cuff, and a broken hand) that took those chances away. On my power lifting team as a junior and a senior I one in my weight class in almost all of the high school tournaments that I participated in. After high school I went to BC to play football and was a starter there till I decided I didn’t really like the way things were run there and I dropped the program. I than picked up Motocross racing on quads where I was mostly successful in, within a year and a half I was racing in the professional amateur class and racing in 4 different racing series up and down California. I have recently had to give up the racing because I am trying to finish school and I am working more now. So I started to hunt a lot more and I am now participating in hunt tests, which is training and running dogs through hunting scenarios. Last year I ran in the Bakersfield Mud Run, which I didn’t think would be that fun, but it was really fun and I am going to continue to do that for a while. But still to this day football has a huge impact on my life and I believe it will always be that way. I think that if and when I go into some type of sports position it will have something to do with football.
