What has the last year been like?
Spent the last year finding myself. Lost myself and got off track last couple years in high school. Had to regroup. Gave up after a close friend passed away. Getting back at working hard. Having that laser focus.

Advice for kids looking to play sports in college?
Stay focused. Sometimes you will get discouraged. It is not a race. It is a marathon. Its going to be a long way to get where you are going. Stick with it even if you feel like you aren't getting immediate results.
