around all winter doing next to nothing, most likely. It is not that I feel accomplished when I am being lazy. The fact that wresting is really not my thing would be the root of me rarely doing productive things during these cold months if I did not play basketball. I once saw myself as a wrestler, but I am sure my parents and all of my other supporters did not, even though they sometimes acted like I had hope in the sport. As many optimistic people as I had in my life, though, the best evidence…

I came across an opportunity to try fencing and thought that it might be interesting.

We had 7.5 seconds to bring the ball down the court and make a shot. The coach drew out a play on his clip board and we knew what we needed to do. I ran down to the baseline and threw the ball in bounds as the guards raced down the floor to try and get the ball inside to our post player. As the guards crossed half court they met a wall of defense…
