How do you define “Athlete”?
Pushing yourself staying healthy, feeding the body healthily to achieve
performance for my own personal goals.
What inspires you?
The sun, a warm breeze, my personal athletic accomplishments, my
fellow teammates, getting a good report card from the Dr., feeling
good, preventing diabetes complications, knowing if can do it and if I
can’t then try anyway.
How do you move past obstacles to your fitness goals?
Never give up, tomorrow is another day, reflect, adjust and correct.
A Liege Waffle
I only have 11 ribs on my left side of my body instead of 12.
I get out and move. Encourage others to get out and move. I wear TeamWILD
colors and gear promoting our mission.
