What lead you to your sport?
I was always interested in the sport. Growing up I was always a little stronger than my teammates. I met someone in the gym (who I guess saw potential). He informed me about an up coming meet. I entered and the rest is history. I truly enjoyed the comradery within the sport. It's a competition, but it's really a competition amongst yourself.
