I played my junior and senior year at Eastlake High School. Senior year we traveled to Spain and trained with RCD Espanyol and played local teams. I saw many new styles of play and an overall different game. I went there not trying to state that they are not all that, but we are better than anyone thinks. After coming back, we went into the playoffs and won the Area Championship. The mood of the stadium at that level changes and it made me want to play in college a lot more. I captained my sophomore year and was one of the youngest one at the time I was moved up. I played with teams that had international players, a future pro-player, and one in the most competitive districts out there.
