Abraham Chevlen's Involvement in Athletics

Interview Questions

When did you first get started in Athletics?

I did soccer until my junior year of high school, however by the end of my junior year I really didn't enjoy playing anymore. I was in poor shape, had a little bit of a belly and small arms and legs. Towards the end of my senior year I wanted to make a change for the positive, so I began weight training. Fell in love with it and have been going strong and becoming stronger ever since.

What is Athletics like?

A passion. Any negative feeling, anger, or frustration that you have can be turned into a positive energy that can improve your physical and even emotional well being.
