Footbag History / Significiant Leadership: Leadership wasnt one of my stongpoints. We recruited so many players but nothing every became of them.
As far as my playing history
my first tournament was the KC Memorial in Memphis is 2004 (1st place). It was a pro/am. My first IFPA tournament was Green Cup 2007 in Oakland, California followed by my first Worlds in Orlando at Disney World. My first singles title was in Chicago in 2012. My first word title was in Paris, France in 2014. Since then I have only lost one IFPA singles match to date and that was to Tuomas in the semifinals at Worlds in Copenhagen, Denmark 2015. I have a total of 7 singles world titles and 2 doubles world titles to date. I have retired from singles and hope to now add mixed titles and more OD. (Hope that helps haha) I have no idea the number of other tournament titles I hold.
