As a player, how do supporter groups like C38 and Mile High Lokos elevate your game?
I like to feel connected to a club. It doesn't have to be playing for football club, I think if you're connected to what you're doing, I think it's a lot more enjoyable, and to be able to connect with them and see how much they care about the club it makes it more fun as a player. You want people that care about what you're doing, and just makes it more fun to play in front of them. Because we know they have the same passion as us when we go into games.
They've been there with us through the tough times. We kind of changed the culture for a couple of years there and then it kind of got lost last year, so we need to get back to that. For me, talking to some of the younger guys that have come up, even when we were good in 2021 and we're Best in the West our attendance last year to that year was not far off. I actually think it might have been better throughout last year until the end. They stay with us through tough time. Hopefully it can only continue to grow, I think the sport is growing so there's hopefully a lot more people that join as well.
Do you have a favorite Man of the Match Oar that you've won?Â
My parents actually keep them, I have a whole memorabilia thing at their house. I don't have a favorite but it is good to look back on because you don't remember every single game just off the top of your head. And then you see the oar and the design they have and it brings back good memories.
Do you have a favorite tifo that C38 has dropped?
They had a great one when we played Real Salt Lake in 2021, that would be my favorite.Â
What is your favorite piece from the new line?
The polo just because I like to golf. Honestly, I think they're all really good, I've been wearing them around and the other guys keep asking where to get them and stuff like that. The variety of designs in the line was cool for me to see. Normally we just get team gear that everyone has, but having something for the fans and us to actually connect with on each other is cool. The 9638 ties us together and the oar symbolizes C38, so I think it's good for us. I'd love to wear it all the time.
