About Athlete

My objective with this abroad experience is to develop myself further as an athlete, as well as a person. I want to get out there, earn my number 1 spot, ace my academics and be of use for my team as well as for my classmates.

This I will achieve by pushing myself to be the hardest worker in the team as well as in classroom.

I am very competitive and can’t stand losing. I am a humble guy who doesn’t like people who think they run the team by them self, we are in it together so act like it.
