The biggest turning point in my career was the transition from the DSFL to the NSFL. Not because you go from a minor league to a major league but because that was the transition to which my daughter was born. Having a child was a huge change in my life. No longer could I think selfishly anymore. I now live and breathe for my child and every decision I make affects both her and me. Things like which team I play for becomes, the place my child will call home to how much money I make to ensure my daughter has the best possible future ever. Every time I play a snap of football you already know that on every play I am doing it for my daughter. She also has let me learn a whole lot while raising her and opens many perspectives despite being less than a year old. I hope to be a huge factor in her life and be there for her whenever I can. It is extremely difficult when I have any road games because that separates her from me and that means less time with the family which kind of makes me sad but at the same time I am blessed to be able to play a sport and make so much money to take care of the family I dearly love.
