​I must confess... I’ve given my life to a sport that literally is killing me and could care less if I die.
 
With the recent news about the professional training group Nike Oregon Project shutting down due to drug findings, Mary Cain speaking out about mental and physical abuse endured by coaches and Nike, and even the largest athletics circuit in the sport cutting events from the schedule, hopefully eyes have finally opened about the truth on professional athletics (track & field).

If you ever wondered what my all-time favorite movie is, without hesitation, I would say Forrest Gump. A slow-witted individual who never thought of himself at any disadvantage, inspiring and saving anyone he came in contact with through his childlike optimism. However, the one person who Forrest cared about the most was the one he couldn’t save in the end; his childhood love, Jenny.

​My job is to inspire.

I would also say that my job is to run around in circles as fast as possible, but that can also fit the description of circus clowns, or three stooges’ impersonators. I think it’s better to say inspire, as it pretty much sums it all up.
 
My job is to inspire and serve you, not the other way around.
