My Journey in the China National Football League (CNFL)

My American football career began in 2015 when I joined the Beijing Cyclones as a Middle and Outside Linebacker. Stepping onto the field for the first time in full gear in China was a surreal experience, intense, raw, and completely addictive. Driven by passion and grit, I soon caught the attention of other teams and was drafted to the Beijing Barbarians, one of the CNFL's most competitive and respected teams. It was there that I truly found my place. I grew not just as a player, but as a leader, eventually becoming the Captain of the Defense and anchoring the team as the starting Middle Linebacker. Throughout my time in the CNFL, I embraced the physical and mental challenges of the game, helping build a winning culture and inspiring teammates both on and off the field. Football has shaped my approach to life, and leadership discipline, teamwork, and resilience define how I show up, no matter the arena.
