He looks to complete his masters while riding and racing in Europe. He shares his learnings as a student athlete and how to successfully pursue sports while studying full time. I had the good fortune of helping him in his formative years starting from 2016 and helped him get to his first medal at the Nationals. It is great to see this young man going places. It was great to sit down and chat just days before he is about to fly off to Europe.

Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job. If you like this, share with friends who could be interested.
