The ups and downs of the ISFL season is on full display to the public but it’s important to remember that those dots have lives outside of what we see on the gridiron. For a small peak into the lives of an ISFL player, I have reached out the Baltimore’s Carter Goad who has agreed to sit down for an interview.
So Carter, what does your life look like outside the ISFL?
Goad: I like to think that I live a fairly normal life just like most people. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family and like to spend time with the wife and kids as often as football allows me to. The off-season in particular is something that I look forward to. Getting to spend an extended period of time at home sure does wonders for relaxation and time away from the season grind.
So where do you call home?
Goad: The family has put down roots in Northwest Indiana about an hour or so from Chicago. It’s a great place to be as you are close enough for all the amenities of a large city but also have the space and nature of more rural areas. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore around Lake Michigan is definitely one of my favorite spots.
Do you have any particular hobbies that you work on outside of football?
Goad: Yeah a few. In the summer, I love to find time to play ultimate frisbee. It’s one of those sports that anyone can play and it’s a good way to stay fit. I also enjoy mathematics and number puzzles. After I retire from the ISFL, I’ll probably pursue a career in teaching mathematics. It’s one of my passions.
Thank you for answering our questions Carter and I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the season!
