Q&A - Personal
What inspires you to compete?
Well, frankly, its my team. Without those guys, without the love and support, there would be no reason to keep on playing. I've been on the team with these boys, some for almost two years, and some I've known prior to paintball. These boys are the best you could ask for, there is no fear, no second guessing and most of all, there is dedication.
Describe your style...
Flaky Biscuit w/ butter
Why do you like this sport?
The best way to answer this, would be to quote a great man, Matty Marshall, he once said:
"It Happens on a random Monday
Coming back late from an event, or late on a Sunday night right before you're about to get on the plane and be frisked for the third time
You're driving, you're flying, you're sitting in an airport seat with boys from the team.
you're drinking stale coffee trying to stay awake.
you're explaining the fat welt on the side of you're neck to a confused stranger or a best friend.
you're coming back to the other life, the one without paintball, where no one understands why you do it.
you're tired, working off little sleep, and the question creeps up and you try to ignore it.
Why do i do this? why the travel? why the losses? the missed work; the missed school. hours of practice and the complaining girlfriend.
because the lore of living a paintball life is just so potent.
and the products of the road, the travel, are forever in memories in strange lands with stranger people.
because at tournaments you feel as though you can live as loud as you want.
it's worth all the sacrifices its worth all the bullshit.
cause if you work hard enough, a Sunday will roll around and you'll be in the huddle screaming, you're hand in, one of ten, playing for the world title.
and suddenly all of those cliche's you've ever heard make sense, and you are defined.
you say it to yourself and it means everything.
"I am a paintball player, and this moment right here is my life."
Music?
Of course, its vital for everything. Whether I'm laying at home massaging a few welts or im on the field getting ready to play, there is always music in my head.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
We as a team constantly train. We train in the sport of paintball or some form of athletic training. If we are not doing that, we are playing an actual game or working our 9 - 5 trying to pay the rent.
