 My name is Shawn Houdek, and I am majoring in physical and health education with a minor in coaching. My main focus of study will be physical and health education.  I am an avid sports fan; I like baseball, football, basketball, and wrestling. I am an extremely competitive person and am always giving my best in whatever I do.
