Athlete Bio

I have played soccer from when I was 5 years old until present. I love the game of soccer and have exceled at it on many levels, but when I got asked to play football and kick for the team last January of 2023, it changed my life. I have always been a huge football fan as my dad and I attend Eagles games, but never understood what being a part of the football team meant. The locker room culture and brotherhood of my teammates pushed me to work harder, not just at kicking but as an athlete. I began working out with the "Breakfast Club" - 6am lifting sessions, and quickly realized this was going to bring out the best in me athletically. I started as a slightly heavy, self-conscious and not in such great shape soccer player and quickly began changing my body. I went from being a kid to who wasn't expected to show up to practice and only kicks to being one of the hardest working athletes in the room, not only pushing myself, but also pushing my teammates. I love attending all practices, spring ball, double session, even 7 on 7's to watch and be around my teammates. Throughout the summer, I even found myself taking part in hitting drills with linebackers, route running drills with the wide receivers, and after practice buffet sessions with the lineman. Over my first year I had to learn new techniques for striking the ball and being disciplined to accept the process to improve. Hard work in the off-season that spring and summer lead to my first season in my junior year which was very successful with 12 touchbacks recorded and 28/29 on extra points. I am presently working even harder to improve my craft and be a leader in both the locker rooms for my soccer team and football teams. Football and kicking have become my passion along with working out and lifting weights. I am excited by how much room for growth I still have and look forward to working towards my goals of playing college football.
