My Sophomore Year I Placed 2nd, And

It's All About The Attitude, Gut, Heart And Determination To Go Out And Give 120% Every Time To Try And Help The Team Win.

I Grew Up In A Tough Neighborhood Where A Lot Of Kids Were Older Than Me. The Older Kids Decided To Pick Me On Me Starting When I Was About 6 And It Didn't Take Me Long To Take A Stand For Myself.

By Doing That And Being Very Competitive, The Grown-ups Started Telling Me Even Back Before I Started Playing Organized Ball That I Was Too Physical And Too Advanced For The Kids My Own Age.

I Was Always The Fastest And Strongest Kid In My School So Events Like The 100 Meter And Discus Throwing Attracted Me. I Could Throw The Discus For Great Distance S Without The Proper Spin And Throw Technique.

Growing Up As A Kid, The Back Of My House Faced A Little Community Airport About Four Or Five Miles From My House.
