Bio

What is your major?
Bible and Theology and Business Administration

When did you start playing soccer?
I started playing when I was 5. 

What is your favorite sports team and/or player?
Green Bay Packers

What is the highlight of your sports career?
first game of my senior year of high school. 

What type of growth have you seen in yourself through your years of playing?
I feel like I've improved in every way a soccer player can improve, to a certain extent, since I've played since I was 5, but most recently I've realized how much I have grown in thinking strategically about the game. 

Name the individual who has impacted you the most in your playing career, and how they have influenced you:
Bartlett Holmes (coached my junior and senior year of high school) most impacted me by the way that he taught the game. I learned much more about the mental game of soccer those two years than any other time, which is a critical part to any soccer player. 

Favorite Passage of Scripture and why?
I have two verses. The first is 1 Corinthians 10:31. This verse is a great reminder because it helps me realize that I don't have to do "big" things or "better" things for God. The small things count just as much.

The second verse is Galatians 1:10. This verse goes along with the first one because it reminds me that I need to be doing every little thing for God's glory. Not just what I want to do for Him when I want and how I want. If I have the wrong motives to do something, such as looking for recognition, then what I have done is for my own glory and not for the One who deserves it.
