What I Did...
My experience started at the age of 13 when I needed an activity to keep myself in shape. I read about paintballing through many websites and the camaraderie of the players drew my attention into the arena. I started out playing recreationally in the woods renting a marker and equipment. Soon I realized how interested I was in the sport and wanted to improve myself in this game. I bought a marker, face mask, pants and pods and was ready to work on advancing myself. I then started playing speedball for fun but moved onto playing competition. I worked on improving myself also by attending clinics. I traveled to Philadelphia, Nashville and Chicago for those clinics. Many times I go by myself to fields and clinics. But I was never alone. Everyone that paintballs is friendly and helpful. People provide pointers and use their experience to help others. Paintballing opened up my world. I grew my confidence and people skills by going to these events. I have joined teams in Cincinnati, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Each year I improve my point accumulation thru competitions and move up in the rankings. As I move up the rankings I play with more experience paintballers. I learn from paintballers. Therefore I try to pass my experience onto others to bring them into the paintball community. Watching people develop the passion for paintballing like I have is a great feeling.
