I played soccer on a team from when I was 4 years old until I graduated high school. I tried to get involved in college, but anytime I was going to try to meet the coach to practice with the team and try out, he had to cancel on me. In the end, I just decided not to bother and focus on my studies instead.

I played every position pretty near equally. The only position I tried hard to get out of was defense because I never felt I was very good at it. My dad was my coach, and he actually played semi-professionally in Brazil when he was younger. I also had a lot of training with professional players simply because I was friends with most of the professional indoor soccer team and some of the outdoor team in Kansas City. Anyways, I was best at goalkeeper, and that's primarily where I played throughout high school. I would generally score at least one goal the few times I played offense, too. I miss soccer.
