[E. Roberts] My name is Evan Roberts and I play rugby.
I started playing rugby in high school at Brownsburg. My football coach is also one of the rugby coaches, so he is the one who got me involved with it. I continued to play once I started to go to IUPUI because it’s a sport that I love. It’s a lot more of a team sport than football is, and it’s a lot more exciting.
The team I play for is called the Indianapolis and Paws. We were actually founded in 1980. There are about 40-50 active members on the team. We have a Division 1 men’s team, which is the team I play for, which is one of the highest levels of rugby in the US.
I feel like rugby is for every other exercise. It helps me develop a better mind. When I’m exercising quite a bit, and I’m pushing myself, I feel better overall. My body feels better. My mind feels better, so that relates to the classroom, and it helps out quite a bit.
Several people on the club own their own businesses, so through the course of that I’ve gotten web design jobs freelance by working on friends websites. I’ve also met a lot interesting people within the city through my team, so it’s been very, very beneficial to my career.
