Why Boundless Barbell?

If someone had told me that I would have spent my freshman year at two separate colleges, and would start my sophomore year at a new University, I would have thought they were talking to the wrong person. I never had plans of switching schools; in fact, I had one plan, I was going to play Division 1 field hockey. But as most people know even the most “perfect plans” can fall through; my “perfect plan” imploded, crashed, burned, and eventually exploded before my eyes. I always believed that going to college is about finding yourself, learning to think critically about the world, and figuring out how to make a life for yourself. However, I placed so many boundaries on myself, they prevented me from seeing myself as anything other than a field hockey player and student. I defined myself on the activities I did, rather than opening myself up to truly learn who I am as a person. I have now graduated from the University of Pittsburgh and I have a pretty SWEET full time job. I have learned to look beyond the self-imposed boundaries that I put in place, allowing me to gain a greater understanding of who I am and where I fit in this world; I am Boundless Barbell.
