Playing sports has given me tremendous opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I didn’t play organized football until 10th grade. I was 6 feet tall 200 lbs and didn’t know how to properly wear my equipment. By 12th grade, I was a 6’4″ 240 pound major D-I recruit. Fast forward fifteen years later, I had the chance to earn a free education, attain financial stability, meet dozens of influential people including two U.S. presidents, visit and live in some of Americas finest cities. None of this would have been possible without my achievements in sports. I agree with Chris Krause’s quote that the “goal was not to be successful in sports, but to use sports to make you more successful”.
