Southlake Carroll Dragon Hockey, Goaltender
In one word, Dragon Pride is: Teamwork
How did your love for the sport begin? My love for hockey started about 10 years ago when my dad first took me to a (Dallas) Stars game. I fell in love with it very quickly.
I joined the team because:
Growing up in Carroll schools it was always a dream to play for my school. I knew from virtually the beginning that I would want to try out for the team.
Why do you have Dragon Pride?
I think I have Dragon Pride because I go to a fantastic school and I’m happy to be here.
How do you show your Dragon Pride?
I show my Dragon Pride by playing the sport I love on the ice and making sure to promote the team in the classroom.
What is your pre-game ritual? To relax and not think about it the game too much. I like to keep it simple—it makes me play better.
Hours spent training each week: Along with numerous days of practice with the whole team, I like to workout every weekday to keep my endurance as well as strength in good condition.
Favorite classes in school: My favorite classes in school include AP US history and Latin.
Future plans: I want to go to college through ROTC and then be commissioned as an officer into the Navy.
Most challenging part of being a non-UIL athlete: The most challenging part is not getting recognized as much as the other UIL sports.
Most rewarding part: The most rewarding part is getting to simply play.
Biggest influence: My biggest influence are my teammates...my friends.
