“Maybe there’s a path that’ll get you there a little bit faster, but I’m stickin’ with the one inside of me.” – Eric Church

All my life I’ve had people tell me I can do anything I set my mind to, and I believed them. I’ve also had people tell me I can’t do this or that, I believed those people too. That drains you, it did me.

I’ve always loved sports. I’ve loved them long before I could even remember watching them, because that’s what I always did. The thrill and excitement of them is what has me writing this. I’ve thought a lot about what it is that I’d like to do and whether I could see myself actually doing it. I’ve thought about many things, but I always come back to sports and writing.

I’ve always thought that I need to do a certain thing, in a certain amount of time, to get there. But I’m slowly realizing that isn’t the case. It doesn’t matter how long it takes me to get to where I want to be, just that I get there.

This blog is just the beginning of a journey full of unknowns, for the first time in my life I am ready.
