1. Why did you decide to sign with East Texas Baptist University?
I chose this school not only because it is a great opportunity to play college soccer, but I can get a good education as well. Playing soccer and having a passion for Christ made it hard to find a school that satisfied my desire for a religion major and the chance to play at the next level…ETBU has provided that.
2. Describe the excitement you feel about becoming a college student-athlete?
It’s every young soccer players dream to just be able to say that they are a collegiate athlete, and to be able to say that they have competed at the next level. Just getting the opportunity to be able to say that is a blessing. I am just excited to hit the pitch and help my new teammates out in whatever way I can and in whatever position I can.
3. What advice would you give to other athletes looking to get recruited?
To other athletes that are looking to be recruited, I would say that you have to put yourself out there. Annoy the coaches until they almost have to come watch you play a game just so that you will shut up, make them know that you’re not just interested in playing college ball, but that you’re interested in the school. One more piece of advice is to always work hard. There are coaches out there watching, if you’re good enough and you are working your butt o ff, they will find you.
4. Who has been the biggest influence in your sports career and why?
The most influential person in my sports career would have to be my club coach. He’s the one that always believed in me and gave me the chance to show people that I could play. He allowed me to grow, not only as a soccer player, but as a person as well. Not only did he teach me the game, he taught me life too.
5. What would you like to accomplish during your college sports career?
There’s no amount of accolades or specific things that I am looking to accomplish for myself. Yes, I want to help my team win, and yes, we’ll be looking for that conference championship, but more than that, I want to accomplish in bringing glory to God on and off the pitch. If I do that, everything else will fall into place naturally.
