Fun Facts:
What stick do you use and why do you choose it?
I choose the OBO Robo Fatboy Composite stick! I chose this stick for its saving surface and specialization towards goalkeepers!
What legguards, kickers and helmet do you use and why did you choose them?
Kickers: I use the OBO ROBO plus kickers. I love square toe and the power it gives me.
Legs: I use the OBO ROBO Hi-Rebound Legguards. I choose them because they are the perfect mix of playability and saving surface.
Helmet: I use the OBO PE helmet for its lightweight feel.

A vanilla protein shake!
