My Dad and I share a very common interest in sports. We’ve always been very close and we enjoying talking basketball and football, especially on the college level. While he lives about 30 minutes away, he will often come out to attend a Kansas Women’s basketball game throughout the season.

Today, as we are driving up to Allen Fieldhouse, he randomly admitted that if he could do it all over again, he would have gone to college and he would have played football.

Which got me thinking about my past and what I would do if I could do it all over again. If I could go back in time and change the path of my life, I would have spent extra time in the drive way shooting free throws and three point shots. I would have tried harder against my brother (who is six years older) and not walked away after being schooled (for lack of a better word) every single time. I would have run that mile instead of walking it. I would have spent more time in the weight room with the “guys” and I would have put my shy feelings aside and tried out for basketball in high school. I would have loved to of had the opportunity to attend college and play collegiate ball. Just because I love the game.

But…woulda, coulda, shoulda. I would have learned different lessons in different ways and the experiences would have been extremely opposite. There would be different people in my life right now and who knows were I would be. But, the one thing I know for certain is I would have never met my partner Brynn. For that simple reason, I have absolutely no regrets about the path I chose.
