One of my greatest achievements in football so far has been playing with the South Sask Selects in the International Pigskin Classic. Playing with my teammates in San Antonio was amazing; however, more important to me than the tournament itself was the grind to get there. All the work that I put in at the gym and on the turf for months, all to lead up to a singular weekend, for me that grind is what it's all about. For me that's what the true love of the game is, putting in the hard work. I have been working hard to achieve my football goals, and I have also been working hard to achieve my education goals. Looking to the future I am excited about the prospect of pursuing both football and college simultaneously, working hard on the field and in the classroom. I know that I can be successful at both because as a student and as a starter or a red- shirt freshman my dedication is to the grind.
