Independent Blog #2: My Love of Sports

Since it's March Madness time, I decided to blog about sports. I'm a huge sports fan! I love football, basketball, tennis, running, and I used to love wrestling. I love college football and college basketball more now than I do the pro side of them. I fell in love with tennis in 2009 as I watched the women's U.S. Open semifinals. I fell in love with running recently, and I hope to start training for 5ks soon! Wrestling was my first true love when it comes to sports. I fell in love with it in 1996 at the age of 11and a half. Wrestling was all I was interested in- me and a cousin used to pretend to wrestling, and I had a stuffed monkey named Nelson who didn't survive after I wrestled the stuffing out of it! I wanted to become a pro wrestler when I was 12- it was my first dream. But now seeing how the business is, I'm glad I gave up the decision to wrestle. Running is a challenge sport: it takes dedication, focus, and a positive attitude! It takes a long time to get really good. My good friend Casey Parks can run a mile in under 6 minutes- that's dedication. I hope to run at a 8 minute pace my first race, and at 27 years old that's a good feat. Tennis to me is a game of psychology: who can out psych his opponent. I love the back and forth action- you never know what's going to happen! College basketball is a good passion of mine: I love Florida State, Florida, North Carolina among others. I hope you have enjoyed this blog!
