Q) How has FCA impacted your life both on and off the field?

A) FCA has been such an encouragement to me. When I tore my Achilles last year, I still remember the first huddle I went to afterward and the genuine compassion from people there. They weren't just giving me the token "How are you?" and moving on, they genuinely cared about how I was doing. That's really what FCA has been to me: genuine.

Off the field it has given people something to label me as. I love being labeled as the "Christian athlete" or "the guy in charge of FCA." I am constantly talking to other athletes about coming to our huddle
