As a youth, I played any sport I came across. A varsity starter in basketball and softball, I declined a potential scholarship in basketball to focus on my studies. I played on a flag football team at the University of Georgia that took second place in the women's division. I also played on another co-ed team where I was the quarterback. Currently, I'm a lacrosse goalie for a local league.
While I don't want to get into my level of education and my career on this blog, I do have a background in health/medical studies which is why I write so much about medicine and sports.
I also write articles on sports and other subjects for the Yahoo Contributor Network. In early October, I was accepted as an NFL featured contributor. I also am now a featured contributor for their "weird and wacky" sports news section. Outside of Yahoo, I am a guest contributor for another sports blog, State of the Sport.
I write because I have a lot of opinions on sport. Not all of them are going to be correct in the long run, and I might contradict myself from time to time in different articles. That's because my opinions, like sport, is ever-evolving.
Feel free to leave a comment on any of my posts as long as it is courteous and is not spam. I have posted comments from others that do not agree with me, and occasionally have written follow-up comments to explain myself further.
I hope that you enjoy the blog. You can drop me a note if you like on my twitter account: @SportingJules
