Virtually everyting. Most importantly, I am a CHRISTIAN in the classical tradition of the faith. JESUS CHRIST died for my sins (which,unfortunately, are many).
In addition, I have interests in politics, music, art, literature, science, philosophy and FOOTBALL! Of course, I've heard of other sports, but they don't compare with FOOTBALL! Like everyone else coaches look for role models. Here is one of mine....Now it is time for track. Here's a pretty cool YouTube on the SHOT PUT. 10 OF THE BEST...
