Sport: Men's Collegiate Football

I've been playing sports since I was 6 years old. For most of my life I've played football and basketball, with aspirations of playing collegiate sports. In  freshman year of high school (2017-2018), I began track and field where I met John as my hurdle coach. Coach John continously helped me improve my speed, technique and confidence not only in track and field but in other sports as well. In my first meet running the 300IH, I ran a time of 45.33. By the time I graduated, I'd reached a PR of 40.00 and received IHSA ALL-STATE HONORS in the 300IH. I also qualified for state in the 4x400 twice, 4x100 once and won co-MVP of the 2021 Plainfield North Track & Field Program. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without Coach John.

Currently, I am a 2 year starter for the University of Indianapolis Men's Football Team, playing defensive back and majoring in finance. This previous year (2023), I received GLVC honorable mention honors and strive for more achievements in the future.    

THANK YOU COACH JOHN!
