Why UAlbany?
For me the most important thing is feeling like I belong. If I feel like I belong somewhere is really important. A tam can watch me on my best day and offer me but how are they going to react when stuff goes south that's a big question. Coach DK made sure in my head that there were no unanswered questions, he saw me puke in the middle of a workout still came to watch me in a tournament and kept on building a relationship with me and still does which are very valuable to me and my values. I wanted to fight for a coach who wants me on their program and a program that I want and U Albany was just that.
