Calvin Bini gaining early success in Indoor Football League Former CU Tiger star named Indoor Football League Defensive Player of the Week. Bini gives credit to higher power: I'm just maintaining the proper perspective of where you're at and why you're there and being thankful and grateful to God. He's the one who's given me the natural ability to play football. I want to emphasis that importance in my life. - CALVIN BINI< By Chris Megginson / Campbellsville University Athletics BLOOMINGTON, IL- Former Campbellsville University defensive standout Calvin Bini recently made a splash in his pro football debut, being named the Indoor Football League Defensive Player of the Week on March 15, 2011. The award came after the former NAIA All-American led the Bloomington Extreme with six tackles, two interceptions, one fumble recovery and a pass breakup in his first professional game. "I expected to have a good game. As a competitor I expect to play good game every game, but I didn't expect to have that big of a first time appearance," Bini said. "I'm just blessed to be in the position to make the plays." Bini returned his first interception for a touchdown, but the play was called back after the pick. He went on to record another pass break up and two more tackles in the Extreme's next game March 18 in Green Bay, Wisc. With the performances, Bini feels like the starting job, which took two weeks to gain, is now his to lose. "We usually dress five DBs a game. I feel like these first two games have solidified my spot," Bini said. "That doesn't mean I can go out and coast and take everything lightly though." The Extreme had last weekend off, but return home this Friday, April 1, to host the Chicago Slaughter. Both teams are tied with Green Bay for the lead in the IFL Great Lakes Division standings at 3-1. Bini, who was a Mid-South Conference All-Conference defensive back in 2009 and 2010, led Campbellsville with 10 pass breakups during the fall and was second in solo tackles (36). The Radcliff, Ky., native also blocked a field goal during the 2010 season that led to a win over Faulkner University on Homecoming. In addition to playing ball with the Extreme, Bini is working to complete his business degree online by taking four classes this semester. He will have only three classes remaining after the spring semester. Just like while he was playing at Campbellsville, Bini says his main focus is emphasizing the importance in his life of his walk with God, and giving God the glory for the professional opportunity. "I'm just maintaining the proper perspective of where you're at and why you're there and being thankful and grateful to God," Bini said. "He's the one who's given me the natural ability to play football. I want to emphasis that importance in my life." This story was posted on 2011-03-31 09:37:00
