On today's episode we talk with the one and only Sebastian Tobias. Seb is a returning defender on our squad who has had to fight a lot of adversity throughout his life. We touch on his early life growing up and having to move around with his family before settling in New Jersey, his early athletic career and being able to balance playing three competitive sports at once, and the foundation of his hardworking attitude. From there we discuss his high school career at St. Augustine prep and his journey to get to Cabrini. While his first year at Cabrini definitely wasn't ideal, he was able to learn a lot about himself and has taken those lessons into this year where he has a brand new outlook on life. Seb gave us one of the best conversations full of ups, downs, and many pieces of motivation in between. Definitely need to listen all the way to the end on this one!
