Why are Sports so Important in your life?

They aren't. God, Family and Friends are. These come first and if I need to, I would stop playing sports so that the other three are the priority. This doesn't mean that they have not had an impact on my life though. I have been playing sports since I was allowed to play Pee-Wee sports. I played eight years of soccer, six of basketball, four years of football and four of volleyball. I have always played sports. When I came to CMA I had too much time and figured a sport was necessary. I wanted a low impact sport like crew but I was too big. So I went back to my instincts and discovered the one sport I was and am passionate about, which is Rugby.

What is the most memorable sports achievement in your life and has it changed you as a person and athlete?

Playing Rugby, it pushed me to excel as a person and an athlete. Even though an immature player of the sport, I have pushed myself to become smaller, faster, and stronger. I was never really one to try and push, except for the last week in my senior year of football, which I regret but I can't relive those times. So Rugby is the most memorable sport "achievement" that has changed me as a person and an athlete.
