For my final project I will be making a podcast. This podcast will focus on how student athletes use social media along with other methods to get noticed by college recruiters and coaches. My focus audience will be high school athletes and parents who want to help their child fulfill their athletic and academic dreams. I plan on bringing in other student athletes to give their feedback and their recruitment experiences.

This is a photo of (L) my father (M) Me (R) and my brother after my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournament. As you can see I am holding my third place medal. This day taught me a lot about myself and the sports I fell in love with. I started BJJ around two years ago and decided that I should start my belt journey last summer. After this day I was granted two extra stripes on my White Belt, making me a three stripe White Belt

Protection, Strength and Power
This photo was taken my senior year of high school. I started praying at the 50 yard line every game since sophomore year. I pray for protection, strength and the power to come out with a win over our opponents. This is something I do before every game, it’s a part of who I am on the field.
