Thoughts on how your competitive experience as a Patriot League student-athlete helped you achieve professional or personal goals:
The discipline and work ethic required to succeed as a student-athlete in the Patriot League were the keys to also help me succeed after graduation, most notably during my time at law school. The need to be able to balance personal life, a full-time job, and the rigors of law school would have been significantly more difficult had it not been for my experience as a Patriot League student-athlete. The focus and personal drive necessary to compete as a student-athlete in the Patriot League provide a great introduction to the rest of life's challenges.
