I know in college, a player is playing for something every year so it is constantly competitive while in residency although you're playing with the top players in your age, you don't have many competitions other than the U-17 or U-20 World Cups.

I also think that Germany helped me with my aggressiveness.

I really wanted to go to architecture school but the demands of playing D-1 Collegiate soccer just take over so I tried to empathize architecture as much as I could.

I ended up as an American Studies Major but my real interest was architecture.

For me the top music though has to be Rock or Hip Hop and artists like Kanye West.

I would say that my strength is my speed and my ability to win head balls.

I'm pretty open to all music. Its pretty funny because I've spent time in Germany and now I'm in Dallas where Country is a big thing. I used to hate it but now I can actually go through a song.
