My name is Aidan Culligan and I am from Eagle Idaho, currently studying both business administration and marketing at the University of Dubuque. I am also playing lacrosse at UD. Physical health has enabled me in many ways, some of them include my ability to release emotions that are keeping me from performing off the field. With physical health comes the challenge of balance of mental and physical. I personally use my physical abilities to help with my mental health. Oftentimes there are challenges that are difficult to navigate, and I use physical health to get around the challenge by working out and clearing my head or going outside to practice lacrosse.
Being able to go outside and free my mind of the challenges that await me gives me the ability to think clearly and refocus on what needs to get done and how I plan on going about the challenge. It allows me to regain sight of who I am and what makes me, me. When I am in the gym or outside, I am able to think more clearly than when I am sitting at a desk, as I am able to get fresh air and move around to get my blood flowing.
