Q: What made this program stand out to you?

A: My future agent sent me an email one day expressing interest in me, and we had weeks of talking, scouting, and discussion. Select Generation gave me a once in a lifetime opportunity for an American player to go play out in Europe.

Q: What did you do to prepare to play sports in college?

A:I still have a few months until I leave, so I have been completing my off-season workouts as well as playing with my current club. But I definitely need to work on my Spanish! I never should have stopped after Spanish 2, I’m super rusty.
