Four of life's lessons
taught through sports
Sports have a lasting unique impact on our lives that cannot be compared to any other type of activity...
HARD WORK BEATS TALENT
WHEN TALENT DOESN’T WORK HARD
I was never the most talented athlete... I made my mark by working hard... This translates to my everyday life... My academic success does not come from being the “smartest,” it purely comes from working hard and being diligent.

ADVERSITY BUILDS CHARACTER
Whether it be returning from an injury, or coping with a losing season, athletics forces players to face adversity... I also have been coached by some people who just didn’t get it. I have learned to... fight through! This applies in the classroom, in relationships with others and in the workplace.
TEAMWORK MAKES
THE DREAM WORK
I have learned that we might not like everyone we come in contact with, but we must be able to respect them and put it aside for the greater good... Being on a team has challenged me to work with teammates to accomplish our goals.
PUSHING MYSELF OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE
Having the ability to test myself and know that it is ok to step out of your comfort zone has allowed me to continue to strive to reach my fullest potential, in all aspects of my life.
