Ever since I was young sports have always been a part of my life and they continue to be part of my life today. I am always playing a sport year round and I have played soccer, track, cross country, basketball, baseball, football, lacrosse, and ultimate Frisbee. When I was looking for a college I wanted to go to a school where I could play both soccer and track and that is the main reason I picked BC. Physical fitness is the most important to me, but emotional health is also important. When I entered college I know I was in shape and could run, but I realized I needed to make changes when I started track my freshman year.

My sports were going well, I hadn’t dealt with injuries, and school was easy for me. This changed my freshman year within the first few weeks at school. I broke my thumb and needed surgery and also school wasn’t going the way I wanted to do. This put me in a place I hadn’t been before and I didn’t know how to handle these misfortunes.

During that year I learned more than I previously knew about long jump. This year also made one of my dreams to become a coach. My sport years at Bridgewater are coming to close which begs the question; how am I going to stay physically fit? I recently have started to run half marathons and also got a weight bench. I plan to continue to lift and also to run more half marathons while also playing soccer and ultimate Frisbee. I also plan to be a coach eventually and hopefully that gives me the motivation to stay physically fit and be a good role model for my players. To stay emotionally strong I hope to find good friends that are supportive and also to keep the friends that helped my during my freshman and junior years here at
