About me

My name is Irakoze Stanley Emery and I was born in Tanzania and moved to the states at the age of 3. I’ve grown up for the past 16 year in Rock Island, Illinois. I am the oldest of 8 children.

I attend SIUE and I am majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sport Psych. I plan to graduate in 2026. My plan real plan is to go out and play football professionally so University is my backup plan

Coming to study in college has been a challenge all on its own, with learn many new things and implementing new habits to create an atmosphere to succeed. Failing has been my best friend in the time that I have been here, it has made me stronger although I’ve wanted to quit many times.

I love to train my body to crazy extremes. Pushing myself past my limits helps me find new purpose. One of the worst things is staying stagnant as a person.

I thing you have probably figured out about me is the I love football and nothing can stop me from playing it. Theres been times where I’ve taken a shovel and dug up a little spot for me to train on. I’ve put an endless amount of hour into crafting my game
