FootyPromo: Is football the only sport you enjoy playing?

SH: Wooley Baxter, as a former player himself, he was always like a mentor to me, made sure I always put in my extras, and did what I had to to do perform

FootyPromo: Who is your favorite team / teams?
SH: Favourite teams, Real Madrid, Brazil

FootyPromo: What is the most memorable game that you have played in?
SH: In Cayman islands for the squad vs Puerto Rico. Losing 1-0 after 80 plus minutes, we had to win to place second and qualify for the next round. I scored the equalizer, and 2 mins later we scored the winner.. atmosphere and passion from the team was crazy.

FootyPromo: What are you studying in college?
SH: sports management/sociology

FootyPromo:  Are there any major differences in football at your college and football here in Bermuda?
SH:   I would say the biggest differences are fitness, discipline, and the game is much more physical. teams don’t stop running. its also very tough because we play games back to back, ex. game Saturday, game Sunday.

SH: I would say to focus in school, and do your extras. its great to go away to college and play ball, and if you are good enough and your grades are up to par then you can be eligible for a scholarship, which is a big relief.
