Athletic Background

THE ATHLETIC
FOUNDATION

The foundation started the moment I joined Hofstra's track and field program in April 2022. With no scholarship, no recruitment, and no formal coaching, I began studying the craft on my own. I spent hours rewatching the 2016 and 2021 Olympic Games, long jump after long jump, teaching myself approach mechanics, penultimate steps, board contact, and flight position through film alone.

That obsession built the technique. The way I jump is largely self-made. Without a dedicated coach until graduate school, I refined every detail through deliberate practice and thousands of reps in relative obscurity, because nobody was going to hand it to me.

The results followed. I went from walk-on to team captain, MVP, and school record holder at 7.33m, the first Hofstra field athlete to score at a CAA Championship and the first to medal, finishing 2nd in a jump that lost by a single centimeter. That earned me a path to the University of New Haven, where I competed under formal coaching for the first time, won the NE10 Conference in both indoor and outdoor long jump, placed 18th at NCAA D2 Nationals, and reached a top-800 global ranking.

Athletics shaped my professional instincts: the discipline to prepare without recognition, the precision of continuous technical refinement, and the ability to perform when it matters most.
