What’s your experience with sports? In my experience Sports were the thing that I believe kept me from going down the wrong path. As a young kid my family didn’t have much money, my parents were separated, and I was surrounded by a lot of drug users. I very easily could’ve ended up in similar positions as them. But I refused to let that happen because i wanted to be a great athlete and to get out of those types of environments. Sports also allowed me to make friends and have time away from a home that was constantly putting me in fight or flight mode. I hated that I didn’t have control but sports allowed me to feel like I did have a little bit of control. I was also an extremely shy and insecure kid, doing well in sports helped me build my confidence greatly. I appreciate all of my coaches I have had throughout my life! These experiences make me extremely passionate about getting the youth into sports because you never really know what they have going on at home. And if something is going on they likely won’t tell you because it’s embarrassing (I know from experience). One day I would love to be a coach, particularly for troubled youth as they are the ones who need it most and likely don’t have leaders in the home!
