In college Id like to major in Psychology and minor in sports management.

Sport you’d love to play but can’t?

Most embarrassing sports moment? 

My most embarrassing sports moment happened during a baseball game. I had to use the restroom but couldn’t. So I’m in the game and I steal second. But when I slid, I went to the bathroom on second base. Was not fun.
