My name is John McCarthy. I am a football player. I have been elected President of my class by my peers. I volunteer in multiple youth sports and at my church. I work 3 jobs in the summer to get money for college and I work out 6 days a week.
I love football. I love to hit. I love to read blocks and shoot gaps. I want the play coming my way when the game is on the line. I know my responsibility. My job will get done.
If I am fortunate enough to play for your team I will be your captain someday. Since first grade I have been the first one back to the huddle, the first one on and off the field and the first in every exercise. I run my last sprint like my first. I pick up my teammates and I lead by example. I will look you in the eye and shake your hand with conviction. I am and will be a straight A student. I will not violate my athletic code. I do not drink or smoke. I will be a leader. It is what my Mom and Dad expect of me and it is what I expect of myself.
