Football has been an important part of my life for 10 years, and while playing the game of football and loving every second of it, football has been more to me than just a sport. Football is a training ground for the challenges life has in store for me. The same struggles that I face in football, such as competing with opponents for success, training and discipline to make myself better than I was before and facing as well as overcoming adversity and defeat all apply just as much to life as they do football. As I continue to pursue football at higher levels than I have before, the same mentality is only further amplified, as the competition and the struggle only grows.
