My name is Kameran Charles and I am 5’9 160lbs. I have played football for the past 11 years. I have been a starting Quarterback, Wide Receiver and Running Back. I have also played Corner and Free Safety.
Through 7 years of Pop Warner football, I have gained insight that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. One of the most important lessons that I have learned is to always focus on the next point. Like life, the game keeps going, even when you make a mistake. Being a student-athlete has taught me that I can recognize what went wrong and continue to concentrate on all that comes next.
To succeed in school, sports and life, we need to make certain sacrifices to realize our ambitions. Whether it is pushing a little harder in practice or putting in that extra hour of studying at the library, being a student-athlete has helped me learn how to prioritize my goals in order to achieve those that are most important to me. However, sometimes we can not accomplish everything on our own. As a young athlete, I have learned that teamwork is a critical aspect of success.
Teammates are an invaluable source of support and friendship and, without them, we could never reach our goals. I pride myself on being a student of the game and a hard worker both on and off the field.
