“As a football player at a small college, who did not make the travel squad, I discovered rugby when I transferred to Appalachian State University. After graduation, I joined the Greensboro, North Carolina men’s club, which helped me when it came time to get a job and gave me the opportunity to continue to play a sport I was passionate about. As a coach, you know this is a sport that you can continue to be a part of even after graduation.
