Do you want to know how I grew up from a small town in Iowa to the best football player and coach? When I was about 8 I started playing football. I was the best linebacker in high school and college football. I was the 1st, 1st round pick in the NFL draft. Retired and became the best football coach in history.…
If I can overcome this, I can overcome anything My father had always told me, “A small setback is just only a setup for a great comeback.” I had played football practically all of my life, from Little League Football to High School Football. It was my freshman year of Highschool, and football season had just begun. There was nothing to stop me from playing football for the rest of my life, so I had thought.…
As I was, once again, sitting on the bench watching my fellow teammates play baseball against another team. I thought to myself, I loved playing football and wrestling, all of my experiences during those seasons were awesome... and then came baseball season. The only sport which I have grown to hate. As I continued to think I began to realize the head coach completely destroyed my love for baseball. I am like a son to my football and wrestling coaches.…
I would like for you to get to know me a little bit better. I'm going to tell you just a few of my passions. You can tell a lot about someone by their interests.

The time I fell off my friend’s trampoline, and broke my arm. I was 11 years old I my friend Pete and his sister were playing football outside. So after we played football we decided to go inside to relax, and get some water.…
Vince Lombardi addressed football as, ¨Football is like life - it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication, and respect of authority¨. Throughout my lifetime I have had many experiences, some great, others, not so great, but no matter what, I have put full effort and commitment with everything that I have done. The most valued experience that I have is football. Football has shaped me into the person I am today and has laid a foundation in which I could build my values on. I started playing the game since I was in grade school. Till this day, the excitement of strapping on my pads and hearing the crack of the helmets has not changed one bit.…

At first, It was my team and I just sitting in our little locker room. We were banging on the lockers as hard our hands could handle. Then the music started playing. “BOOM! HERE COMES THE BOOM, I DON’T REALLY WANT IT NOW.”…
It was a crisp night in Febuary 2 years ago. The moon beamed down on us. I felt the brisk breeze across my ears and face. My nose was running like a waterfall. We all looked like ripe tomatoes.…
The moment you decide that you want to play the game of football, your life changes forever. At least mine did from the first time I strapped on my pads. I think Vince Lombardi reflected the essence of football in a small collection of words, “people who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.” The biggest part of the game is teamwork, a concept that I was introduced to early on, but we’ll get to that later. The first time I strapped on pads was in the hot August sun at 12 years old.…
My father played one year of of football in middle school and my mother was in JROTC in high school. My grandfather from my father’s side played baseball for a season or two in high school.

Last year during fantasy football I had a great team my players rarely got hurt and none of them got suspended. On the other hand almost all of my opponents had to deal with that. My opponents all agreed that I had the best draft overall, and I would still get beat by all of them. First is the draft of a lifetime, I got the second pick and I picked Le'veon Bell. I also got many other good players such as: Drew Brees, Panthers Defense, Derek Carr, and Amari Cooper.…
Last school year, as a junior, our football team was playing in the sectional championship game against Northwood. In the previous season we lost to the Northwood Panthers in the first round of the sectional tournament. Because of the previous attempt to beat a strong Northwood team I was feeling nervous, and almost even scared. During the beginning of the game it was a close battle and I could feel myself getting fatigued.…

When I saw the ball get snapped I realized that every player moved on the ball. They were always mean, and grunting, and some of them say trashtalk. So one day my dad decided to teach me how to play. As soon as he told me that, I jumped up and down and said “YES!” He taught me plays and positions.…
