I have earned many roles by jumping over the edge and going for it. If I never took risk I wouldn’t be here now in my current position. I probably gained much of my confidence from my father for as long as I can remember my father has been an extremely confident guy.

    I know I have trouble with being sure of myself and being confident in what I can do on the field. Although, I am a player that wants to be successful more than anything else in the world I am willing to go through anything and everything you can think of if it will make me a better athlete.
