She has been around the world teaching, playing and having a blast in this crazy world of shot it out enjoying the game. There is not much she has not done in the sport, she even married a player.

I think I’ve broken a personal record. I’m the type of person who, when writing, tries to get it right. Completely right. I took an entire semester course in college just on proofreading, so that’s tainted me into over analyzing punctuation alone.

This is an interview that is different than anything you have ever read. This is to show gratitude to the un-sung heroes behind the scenes, the people who wake up and drive for hours on end just to take their children to play, to those who spend countless dollars just to see a smile on the faces of those playing. I salute Lori George, parent of Chad George – pro player now with Dynasty. Continue reading »

I had the pleasure of meeting Phoenix last season while she was guesting on the Dog Soldiers team at the Chicago UWL event. On this day she lived up to her name of Phoenix as she rose through the ashes of her team being shot to advance down the field and shoot out 5 or 6 of those who dared raise their markers in her direction. In an interview to promote positive female players in the game I present to you Sarah Meehan, the Phoenix. Continue reading »

In an effort to show the world that paintball is not just a male dominated sport I have taken the initiative to interview some ladies who love and play the sport right along side of us men. These ladies are a force on and off the field but when you see their markers pointed at you prepare, they will not hold back and their mind is set on sending you to the dead box. Today we have a visit from Lani Fox a member of the well known Hellions based out of Chicago. Continue reading »
Destiny – a predetermined course of events. A concept of a conceived predetermined future that you cannot alter.

Try as you might to wiggle free of the encompassing grip your struggle only gets the lifestyle drawn deeper into your soul. Continue reading »
