“My family has moved all over the United States and I’d have to say this is my favorite place. It’s an escape from all my problems. After my injuries, I realized I wanted to go into coaching. I used to play football and run track. My sophomore year, I blew out my shoulder 6 times in one season. It got to the point that my labrum was completely ripped away from the bone. I think it’s super selfish that they wanted to keep playing me just because they needed me. A lot of people use sports as an outlet to get away from home and take their head out of everything. And those people are going to listen to their coaches. If they put their full faith in the coach, whatever the coach says, they are going to believe it. I never felt like I had a home. Football was my home. I had really good coaches but they didn’t have good morals. They’d make bad decisions or they’d say things that you just would never tell to a kid. All they care about is their next win and those words don’t matter to them. It’s like they didn’t understand the power they had being a coach. I want to be able to lead people down the right path. It’s more than just wins. I want to be a positive influence on someone.”
