My name is Carter Ruegsegger, and I am from Blanchardville, Wisconsin. I am a senior on the Men’s Golf Team here at the University of Dubuque. I have played various competitive sports from a young age – golf, basketball, baseball, and football. Playing sports has positively impacted my life and provided numerous opportunities and experiences. I have had the chance to travel to exciting places, make friendships that will last forever, and learn essential life lessons.
The game of golf has taught me life lessons such as patience, attitude, and determination. The game of golf has also required me to strive for good physical health and has challenged my emotional health. Like many things, golf can be frustrating. Maintaining emotional health on the golf course has helped me be successful. Life can also be frustrating, and I am learning to expand physical and emotional health management to all aspects of life.
