When I could start practicing with pads I started trying to prove myself a varsity player by going my hardest and my fastest. But I obviously still started out as Junior varsity player as running back, defensive end and as the punter. I could run through people really easy as running back and get first downs pretty easy if I wasn’t winded. I also played as defensive end pretty good I could make sacks and make tackles in the back field pretty easily on the junior varsity team. But I wasn’t able to play a full 10 minute quarter game without being winded or out of breath. I was out of shape and I needed to be in shape to even think about playing a varsity down. So I pushed myself at practice trying to finish sprints faster before everyone else in my group. It took a long while to get into shape and I needed to get into shape faster so the day we had practice I’d go home and run and jog to get myself into shape faster. Coach noticed me getting into shape and trying my hardest to get myself a position so I got a chance at kickoff on varsity and I ran hard down the field and made tackles. I rotated at that position for a few varsity
