Growing Collection

Along with the previous two meetings of Charles and Jimmer, I was fortunate enough to meet...

Kyle Van Noy, BYU Linebacker

Tyler Haws, BYU Shooting Guard

...as well as Brandon Davies (BYU Center), Jackson Emery (BYU alum Shooting Guard), Noah Hartsock (BYU alum Power Forward), Nate Austin (BYU Center), and Matt Carlino (BYU Point Guard).  Unfortunately I didn't get pictures with them.

Maybe I idolize sports players too much, but I've always looked up to them because I know first hand how hard it is to be an athlete.  You're getting yelled at by coaches and fans unless you do something amazing.  If you're good in any way, you have expectations put on you and if they aren't met each game, everyone makes you feel bad about yourself.  The physical aspect of it is grueling...it's really hard to stay in top physical shape.  An added bonus is the fact that all of these boys adhere to the BYU honor code, and many of them have been on LDS missions.  I suppose they're the best athletes I could choose to admire, since most NBA/NFL athletes leave a bit to be desired.  (Except for Tim Tebow!  And Aaron Rogers.  I would love to meet them.)
