Description

My philosophy is "Everything I ever needed to know about business I learned on the sports field." From Behind The Scoreboard, I feature the sports stories that tell us much more than simply who won or lost. These personal and inspiring experiences of grade school, high school, college, other amateur and even pro athletes allow all of us to reflect a little more on what is important in life. ~ James C. Metzger, Chairman and CEO, The Whitmore Agency _______ Putting In The Work On Land And In The Water Originally, Curran Skoglund preferred running. But, his family loved the water. Eventually, Curran came around to their way of thinking. He just completed his senior year in Rockland County as one of the top swimmers in Section 1. Curran is organized in the water and out. He keeps a balanced schedule to ensure his studies, sports and the many other things in life are in sync. He has college plans and his goal is to become an athletic trainer. Curran's philosophy is to always put in the work, be the best you can and never go just halfway if you wish achieve anything you really want in life. Oh, yes, he still likes to run!
