Bio
Why are sports so important in your life?
Sports are what get me through my days, for as long as I can remember I have played some type of sport. In high school I ran Cross-Country in the fall, Basketball in the winter, Tennis in the spring and Basketball in the summer. As you can see I have always been involved, not because I needed something to pass the time or that my parents made me play, I played because I loved sports. Once I came to college I didn't know how I was going to fill this empty space and then I heard something about intercollegiate soccer. I thought to myself there is no way that I would be able to play but sure enough I met all of the guys and they helped me to become the player I am now, both physically and mentally. Sports are so important in my life because they have helped shaped me into the person I am today.
What is the most memorable sports achievement in your life and has it changed your life? I had to think for quite some time about this question. I have had many memorable achievements in my sports career but none that could go as far as changing my life. Not until now has this been accomplished. On October 17th, 2010 my number one most memorable sports achievement would be winning CMA's first soccer game in 34 straight games. I am a new man!
