This is actually a picture of me in net while playing in my glory days with the University of Wisconsin. I always felt that playing goalie in hockey really depicted me well. It was always a challenge, everyone on the other team had one goal, to put one past you, to catch me sleeping and one up me. In this image I have a screen set in front of me, which makes me sink lower to the ice so I can look past this player to see what was going on in front of him. This is true with me as well, there will always be something in me way trying to keep me from my ultimate goal, but it is about what I do to look past these distractions to see the bigger picture.
Besides my love and passion for the game of golf I think this picture really represents part of my personality well. If you are a golfer you know that this is the 7th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links, to anyone else, you can tell by looking at the picture that this is a difficult hole on a golf course. Small green, guarded by may bunkers, surrounded by bunkers, and to top it all off, the hole is down hill. A good shot here requires execution, some thoughtfulness and maybe, a little bit of luck. That is a good chunk of my personality, I always try to think things through and believe that there is always a solution to every problem in life, no matter how hard it is. Things may not come easy, but with hard work, dedication and execution one can make it through anything. Luck doesn't hurt either.

Your post entitled "About Me" is similar to my post to a certain extent. The fact that you love sports and also know that many aspects of a sport can be applied towards life shows that you're wise. I love how you explained your goal as a goalie. The pictures are great, one is full of intensity while the other is calm and mellow.
