Football has influenced my life a lot and has helped me get to where I am today. At first I was using football to lose weight when I was younge because I was severely overweight. Now I realize I don't play football to lose weight or to get into shape, I play because I love the game and love being around people with the same goal which is perfection.
Football has helped me learn leadership skills and how to work with others to achieve one goal. I could have just listened to everyone who said I could play quarter back because I was too big but I didn't, I set a goal for my self and that was to lose weight to prove them wrong. I have learned that no matter what you want to do you can do it if you put your mind to it.
