now you may be wondering, what qualifies me to be writing about these sport-cultural topics? well, quite a bit, actually.

Sports have been the main part of my life, well, my entire life. I began playing basketball at 4 years old and never looked back, going on to play in college and professionally overseas for a few years. But along the way, I became fascinated with all different kind of sports: playing volleyball for some time, getting obsessed with football (and fantasy football), and discovering the beautiful game (and insane fan culture) of European football, aka soccer.

The transition from playing to working in sports was the perfect opportunity for me to gain a different understanding of how sports really tie into shaping a culture and honestly, our society as a whole. I created [under review] to serve as a space to tell these stories and posit my own opinions about the big, beautiful world of sports. I hope you enjoy :) -Nat
