When my college football career ended, I hit rock bottom. Losing over 100 pounds helped me get my life back on track.

• D1 college football gave my life important structure, so when it ended, I felt lost.
• After college, I gained weight and hit the lowest point of my life emotionally.
• Once I found boxing and lost 120 pounds, I got my life back on track.

When my D1 college football career ended, I didn't just lose the game. I lost my identity.

Football had structured my entire life: my schedule, my body, my purpose.
