In high school, I was working backstage and I always wanted to make it on-stage and make it to plays and I really wanted to act. “I thought to myself that it was the right time to finally lose the weight and start focusing on what I wanted to do, which was acting. “Understanding the scientific part of it and studying nutrition after going through personal training and nutrition courses, I applied that information to myself and I was able to transform to an ideal version of myself.” When Sam stopped playing football after college, he says he gained a lot of unwanted weight by eating the same way he had been, but without his usual discipline of exercise during a sports season.
He quickly realized his appreciation for more than just the physical aspects of those activities. He started with gymnastics, followed by soccer and football. Once he arrived in America, Sam immersed himself in sports. I was brought up by my dad knowing and understanding that we were coming here for a better life.” I always knew that I was coming to a country where opportunity was the equivalent to gold.
