“It’s in the numbers.”
…or at least that’s what I was gonna caption this post.
But the more I looked at it, the more I realized that it’s way deeper than that.
This isn’t just a list.
These aren’t just names.
And this isn’t just another post.
It’s a reflection of a journey I’m still trying to fully wrap my head around.
10-year-old me would’ve thought you were insane if you told him this is where we’d be. Back then, it was just about going to games and hoping to get a quick interaction with players I looked up to.
This came from years in the making…long nights, early mornings, and a lot of uncertainty.
Posts that 50 people saw (mostly family and friends).
Messages that didn’t get responses.
Ideas that didn’t always work.
From reaching out to companies hoping they’d take a chance on me and help fund trips to cover events…
to building relationships…
to now having the opportunity to coordinate content with some of the best players in the world.
It’s something I don’t take for grant...
