I have the right to have anxiety and depression, and everyone else who struggles the same does too. Now, before you’re up in arms accusing me of being some sort of masochistic and sadistic person, let me explain. I was born into an incredible situation…
Read MoreIn my high school English class freshman year, we started each day with a journal writing inspired by whatever prompt the teacher put on the board. We did this every day for the entire year and even though I’ve forgotten 99% of the prompts, there’s one I haven’t forgotten…
Read MoreA lot has happened in the past 5 days. If you’d told me I’d be going to play in Germany this time last week, I gotta be honest, I wouldn't have handled it well. Once I was given time to think about it though, I realized how…
Read MoreI’m writing this from the passenger seat of my truck while my wife takes her driving shift on our road trip from Austin to Las Vegas where I train during the offseason. There’s a lot of things I learned during my time in San Antonio and Austin…
Read MoreLast week I felt as if I’d finally come up with the topic I wanted to write about for this latest post, but life has a very unfortunate way of hitting you with pretty painful curveballs. On November 30th, my aunt Mary passed away after a battle with liver cancer.
Read MoreI’m a pretty firm believer, at least when it comes to my life, that everything happens for a reason. Regardless of the current inconvenience and difficulty, in the end, everything that has happened to me, whether good or bad has seemed to lead me down a path I feel I was meant to be on.
Read MoreI’ve been kind of MIA lately when it comes to posting on here. I could blame it on the grind of the season and lack of time but the truth is I haven’t felt I’ve had anything of value to say in quite a while.
Read MoreI never listened to a lot of Linkin Park. Don’t get me wrong, I liked some of their songs, even had multiple downloaded on my phone. I remember hearing them all the time on the radio growing up. During the teenage angst phase it seemed to be relatable.
Read MoreOff-season seems to sneak up on me every year. Not in a sense of timing, more in a sense of expectations. When the season swallows you up and consumes so much of your time, the off-season starts to become this romanticized thing.
Read MoreThe journey is tough…nobody said it’d be easy though. I feel confident in saying that anyone reading this wishes there were aspects of their life that they could change. It’s human nature, isn’t it? We all have things that we desire, ways we wish our lives were different.
Read MoreThree years. That’s how long it’s been since my college career came to and end in Memphis, Tennessee at the hands of the Dayton Fliers in the Sweet Sixteen. I figured what better time to write and reflect on that time in my life than during this year’s Sweet Sixteen.
Read MoreIt’s becoming really interesting to see how this little side project of mine is evolving. Originally dedicated to just sharing my photos and commenting on the subjects, it seems like the site is starting to incorporate life lessons and inspiration I find too.
Read MoreJust to forewarn everyone reading this I really think I’d regret it if I didn’t use this platform to talk about something that I have a personal interest in and experience with. Mental health, to me, is something that I think a lot about and I think a lot of people should.
Read MoreI think one of the best outcomes of this blog is that it allows me to put a lot of my thoughts and opinions out there for people to read and form their own opinions and thoughts based on what I wrote, and when they do this, it provides an opportunity for us to discuss them and learn from one another.
Read MoreHonestly I feel pretty corny titling this post “Roots”. I’m sure this is one of thousands of posts littered throughout the internet with the exact same title about something extremely similar. But, if you guys bear with me I promise I’ll do my best to set mine apart.
