My Experience Training For Football

In the sixth grade, I joined my first tackle football team, putting my dreams of being in the National Football League to sail. I started working out with my father about six times a week to become better at the sport and eventually achieve my dream. In reality, I had no earthly chance to make it to the NFL, with my 5 foot 7 inch, 130-pound stature. However, the whole time my father, without me knowing at the time, was instilling a lesson way bigger than the sport of football. Through my experience training for football, I was able to learn at a young age the importance of working hard for something you want, no matter how far the end goal may be. It showed me how I am accountable for myself in working for what I want to achieve. This
lesson is what drove me to achieve more in high school, and I have still carried this with me in college.
