The Journey of Seth Blanchette Are athletes born, or are they made? Seth was not born an athlete.

This was the same year that Seth hit his first home run during a baseball game. Seth continued on and tried new sports as he got older. When Seth Blanchette entered 7th grade he went out for football for the first time. His dad influenced him to try the sport out.

His football season went well until he broke his ankle during the last game of the season. Luckily his ankle recovered well, and in 9th grade he continued playing football and baseball. Seth enjoyed 9th grade football and the weight lifting that went along with it. However he did not like Baseball due to the Coach’s coaching methods. In 10th grade Seth continued playing football and he kept getting better by working hard in the weight room and while he was practicing. Seth not only played hard but he worked hard
