Why I Started The College Athlete Journal: My Journey as a D1 athlete

My Journey as a D1 Golfer, Student, and Brand Founder

I remember standing on the range before a tournament, the sky still dark, my hands freezing, and my heart pounding — not because of nerves, but because I was tired. Tired in every way. My body ached, my mind was heavy, and yet… I was still there. Still showing up. Still chasing the same dream.

That moment stuck with me. Not because I played my best round that day — I didn’t. But because I realized something important:

Being a college athlete isn’t always about winning.

It’s about continuing, even when it’s hard to.

Even when no one’s watching.
