Many athletes have a hard time catching a football in very crucial moments. Some athletes lose focus on the ball and they worry about what’s around them and what they are going to do.

A future impact this could have is it could help me play varsity next year. This could help others by showing them what they need to do become a better wide receiver so they can make that crucial catch they need right there at the end of the game to win it
