Amateur MMA training has been the athletic focus of my life since entering college. The training is intense and very humbling, and there are times when I have been defeated by less athletic opponents and it is very hard to pick yourself up for another round. The process is humbling and the journey is long. However, the kinship among fellow fighters is second to none and I am learning to make high level strategy decisions while under significant pressure. I have competed unofficially, and am hoping to become a full fledged fighter by my junior year.
