One day, the last whistle will blow.
One day, you'll pull on your jersey for the last time.
One day, it will be the final game of your competitive career, the last time you'll play with your teammates, the last time you'll play on your home field, the last time for all of it.
​
But that time is not now.
​
Right now, your daydreams of excellence, of achievement, of champion-level play is as close as they may ever be.
Right now, the opportunity is in front of you to build a fanbase, to nab attention, to impress coaches/recruiters at the next level.
​
Right now, you're living your athlete story.
​
And that is what I photograph.
