Field hockey is a family affair for Kundi. Introduced to the sport at the age of 4, Kundi was greatly influenced by his father and older brother Pauly whom he watched play for Team USA. These inspirational family figures helped propel Kundi to embrace the sport to the fullest – earning a sport on the Senior National Team in 2011. Kundi has supported the Junior National Squad to a second place finish at Youth Pan American Championships and a third place finish at the Australian Youth Olympics in 2013.
