Lifting, Playing Sports, Coaching Soccer
I have been lifting consistently for almost 6 years. I love the sport and science behind it. It requires discipline and patience. I did a physique show in March of 2021 and all of the prep that comes with it up until 2 weeks before when the show was cancelled due to low funding and schools still being online. I have played sports throughout my entire life including basketball, soccer, track/field, and pickleball. I still play pickleball to this day and play indoor soccer as well. I coached soccer at my high school I went to in 2022.
