Ballsy

I deal in code.

Well, code, social anxiety, and online gaming.

What I don’t deal in is hockey players.

And I certainly don’t deal in hockey players like Connor Smith. He’s brass. He’s loud. He’s funny and charming and…ballsy.

I’m about the furthest thing from ballsy someone can find.

Yet, Connor doesn’t seem to care. From the moment I began working on the player development program for the Baltimore Breakers, Connor had led a campaign to win my heart.

The thing is, I don’t actually want my heart to be won, and the more Connor campaigns, the more I resist. And…the more I resist and argue and push back, the more I find out that I actually can be ballsy.

And the worst thing about that?

It makes Connor campaign even harder.
