Baseball

I played baseball for most of my life. From 5 years old till I was senior in high school (18 years old). Baseball was my favorite sport and that's why it's the first one listed. I had a lot of good and bad memories during my baseball career, luckly the good outweigh the bad. Baseball was something that my father and I could connect with and he could teach me so I'm grateful for that. I remember my first homerun, my first no hitter, and many diving catches in the outfield. I gaurentee my father remembers them all as well and I'm glad the expierences baseball brought in my life.

Wrestling

I started doing mix martial arts at a young age I want to say four or five. It was mainly jui-jitsu but a little bit of wrestling, which helped once I got to high school and made the wrestling team. I was very small in the beginning of high school so my freshman year I wrestled in the 106 pound weight class and ended up placing 2nd at sectionals and making it to states. My sophomore I wrestled at the 113 pound weight class which I was dominating with 17-4 record and then the unthinkable happens and I get injuried and was out for the remaining of the seanson. Unfourtnaly, I had a love hate relationship with wrestling with all my injuries but I learned a lot of life lessons from it and won't change it for the world.

Football

Football started for me when I was in second grade playing Pop Warner football. I was the fastest on the team but also one of the smallest, but that didn't stop me from playing my heart out. I played cornerback and running back of course because of my speed. Football was one of those sports that came so natural to me. I remember scoring my first touchdown like it was yesterday. It was the greatest feeling, felt like I was ontop of the world. Things pretty much stayed the same through my football career until I was in high school and had to deal with my injuries from wrestling, which led me with the decision to stop playing football for my healths sake.
