NFL ➡️ Real estate developer. Proud dad. Married to real estate agent @nicolecundiff. Learning to capture stories in photos. Embracing life after sports.
Being an athlete was amazing, but I’m most proud of transitioning into the “real world” quickly when I was done and finding a career that gets me excited every day. Thanks @AZBigMedia for the spotlight.

Year Two. Looking forward to competing with some of the top specialists in the country at the 2026 @KohlsKicking National Scholarship Camp in Gatlinburg, TN.
No more 28 year old foreigners playing college soccer if this passes.
The College recruiting agencies that pack college rosters with washed up “pro” international players that are 25 and older have to be hating this!!
We hope this passes!!
The NCAA is exploring a significant change to its eligibility rule, sources tell @YahooSports. The proposal creates an age-based standard: Athletes would have 5 years of eligibility from their 19th birthday or HS graduation.
No redshirts or waivers.

I've been covering ASU recruiting for 25 years. @mikey_barth is the first-ever prospect to tell me that he committed to ASU while at The Chuckbox. He and his family went there after practice with ASU's special teams coaches.
How many bonus points are earned for this?
12 months ago, @chloe_cundiff was told she wasn’t good enough for ECNL.
She went to work.
Today:
✅ WSS Golazo Golden Glove Winner
✅ Committed to @woffordwsoc
✅ Playing @PHXRisingYouth#ECNL
No shortcuts. Just work and believing in herself and dreams.
Proud of her!
The Parent Poison…
Most parents want the best for their kids.
But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of.
It rarely starts with something dramatic.
It starts small.
A comment in the car ride home.
“Why didn’t the coach play you more?”
A comparison.
“You’re better than that kid.”
A quiet complaint at the dinner table.
“That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
Kids hear everything.
And when they hear it, something changes.
Doubt creeps in.
Blame grows.
Trust fades.
The mindset shifts from team first to me first.
What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room.
You see it in body language.
You hear it in conversations.
You feel it in the culture.
Instead of unity, there are whispers.
Instead of accountability, there are excuses.
Instead of growth, there is resentment.
Great teams cannot survive that environment.
Because the best teams are built on three things:
Trust.
Sacrifice.
Shared purpose.
When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear.
Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not.
The healthiest teams have parents who:
Support the program.
Encourage resilience.
Teach their kids to handle adversity.
They remind their children:
Work harder.
Be a great teammate.
Control what you can control.
They don’t feed excuses.
They build character.
And here’s the truth most people miss:
A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child.
It affects the locker room.
It affects the culture.
It affects the entire team.
Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism.
So the challenge for parents is simple.
Be the adult in the room.
Guard your words.
Model respect.
Support the team.
Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room.
And the best parents don’t poison the culture.
They protect it.
Amazing come from behind semifinal victory for #5 XAVIER SOCCER over a very good team, #1 Hamilton
2-1
Xavier heading to the championship match, going for sixth state title in a row
I am blessed to receive a 4⭐️ ranking after the Kohl’s Western Showcase and to be up there with the best in the class of 2029. I am excited to compete at the Future Stars event in Florida.
