I’m a part of Flag Star because…

I love flagstar because it gives me the opportunity to help guide, and teach young kids the amazing game of football that I grew up playing. 

Favorite intro/pump-up song:

“Yes Indeed” - Lil Baby (Ft. Drake)

Favorite Sports Movie:

Rocky

Who was your childhood sports hero:

Calvin Johnson

Who was your favorite youth coach and what did he/she teach you:

My favorite youth coach was my flag football coach when I was younger. Mr. Rifken taught me to play hard, and not be afraid of different obstacles you might face.

Who’s the best friend you made through sports:

I met most of my great friends through sports. Collin, Ben, and Jack who live in another state, but I still talk to each of them daily.

What’s your most cringe-worthy sports moment / biggest failure:

My most embarrassing moment was in Basketball in 6th grade were I missed 1 out of 2 free throws in the last seconds. Which eventually lost the game for my team. That moment was really tough on me. But, was a building block to the player I am now. Adversity, and challenges only helps build you back up.

What are your off-field interests/hobbies:

My hobbies are fishing, going to Bethesda with friends, and listening to a lot of different types of music. 

What’s your favorite quote:

“Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard” -Kevin Durant
