My name is Matt McQuillen and I am from West Dundee, Illinois. I am currently a senior on the Men’s Golf Team here at UD, my fourth year with the program. Throughout my childhood and up to now I have been regularly involved with sports and have discovered many important lessons from my experiences. Involvement in athletics allows me to maintain a good level of physical health, and this focus on wellness has always positively translated to many other aspects of my life. Busy schedules loaded with jobs and schoolwork can often become excessively difficult at times. I have found that being active in sports is a great way to relieve these stressors and keep myself focused on my physical wellness. Staying active and having a great network of teammates is my greatest strength for taking on the everyday challenges that I face. As I’ve grown It’s become apparent that my health is the greatest asset for being able to handle these difficulties, so it’s become my top priority to stay focused on.
