What’s up everyone!! Super excited for this platform for all of us incredible people to put our minds together. Let me introduce myself, my name is Noah Pack. Where are you from? Originally from a small town called Georgetown, Ohio. What sport did you play and where? I played basketball at Thomas More University (Roll Saints!) in Crestview Hills, Kentucky. What do you do now? I’m currently an accountant for a company that specializes in foster care, and other means of supporting the youth across a few different states. What's your goal inside this community? My goal is to meet and connect with likeminded individuals who have shared the same successes and struggles of being an athlete in their post college endeavors. More so, I want to grow myself as a person, entrepreneur, and mentor to others. What project are you working on right now? Nothing specific at this very moment, but I am excited to talk with others and see where things can go! Super stoked for this community, I look forward to meeting and talking to you all!

I am going to bounce off of Sammi's post, about her journey, and be super open about mine as well. I encourage others to do the same! Like most of you, my sport was everything to me for most of my life. I knew from a young age that basketball was going to be my future. From early mornings, late nights, multiple workouts a day, no free summers, missing out on being a kid, etc. Basketball was all I knew. In 6th grade, a NAIA school saw me play at their camp and the head coach told me, "You will always have a scholarship here." In 8th grade I went to a junior/senior only camp at a D2 school and the coaches brought me to their office and tried to get me to sign that day until they found out I was 14 years old. A year later and I received my first D1 offer. This trend continued through high school, so as you can imagine my head was about to burst. I thought I made it already, but that didn't stop the grind that I was on. During high school I was battling a lot of knee pain and my junior year I almost never practiced. I only played games and could barely do that. Colleges would invite me to workouts and to play on visits and I had to make excuses on why I couldn't. This was the first low for me because it 100% effected my recruitment. Senior year, my dad randomly loses his job, my family sells everything, and we move from Ohio to Florida. Things didn't work out exactly how they were planned in Florida, but thankfully Dad was offered another job back home in Ohio. I was so happy we were heading back to Ohio so I could finish my basketball career at my original school. However, we now basically have nothing and no where to live. Long story short, I was homeless for months. I didn't go to school for awhile and I just bounced around from hotels, my buddies houses, and other people's houses in the community. I immediately wanted some security so I committed, earlier than I wanted, to Flagler College. After I signed, Ohio University offered and that is where I wanted to go all along. Talk about being confused!
