Personal Statement
Football has been a huge part of my life ever since I started playing in fifth grade. I love the sport. In my opinion football is one of the few sports where everybody makes an impact. Without lineman receivers will have trouble due to the quarterback not being able to get the ball off. Without receivers running backs will have a hard time because the other team will stack the box. It is a sport where every position can affect all of the other positions. I work very hard in practice and the off-season to make sure I impact the whole team positively so that we can achieve our full potential. I spend most of my time in the weight room, training for speed, or working position specific drills. One of my favorite aspects of the game is seeing how the hard work in the off-season translates to games in the regular season. That one extra rep on bench press could be the difference between coming down with the ball in traffic or getting it knocked away. Every little thing counts and I do my best to identify and improve even the smallest aspects of the game.
