My Passion

My passion in life has always, and will always be the game of football. Football has done so much for me in my life and without football I don’t know what I would be doing right now.

I started playing football when I was five years old. I first got into football because of my dad. I would always have a football in my hand or watching football games with my dad or outside playing football in the backyard ever since I was 2 years old. Football has always been a part of my life. My dad saw that I always loved football, so he decided to put me on a team and coach the team.

I started out playing in the Whitehall Youth Football League (WYFL). My first team was the raiders and I started out playing defensive end, but I didn’t play that much because I was small because I played up and I wasn’t as good as everyone else. That didn’t last long though because after my first season I began to train with my dad during my free time and everytime I was at his house I would always be training, rain or shine.

The next year I got significantly better and changed my position to running back. I did well that season, but I still felt like I could do way better. So the following summer I ended up living with my dad and we trained almost every single day during the summer and it paid off. That year I led my team to a 8-2 season and we won the championship and I was MVP of the league.

I played in Whitehall until I moved to reynoldsburg the beginning of 5th grade and that’s where I have been playing football ever since. I ended up switching my position again from running back to quarterback in fourth grade. Football has been a part of me my whole life and I don’t think that will ever change.

I’ve been training for football my whole life. Football takes up most of your life if you want to be good at it. While everyone else is out having fun going to parties, going to the movies, swimming, going on vacations, sleeping all day, playing video games we have to be out there on the field working hard, perfecting our craft and getting better at the game we love to play. Really we have barely any free time because if we do it is spent training for football or watching film or something that has to do with football.

I hope football will take me on to a division one college in the near future because that is what I have been working so hard for is to go to college for free and play the game I love. Once I get to college through playing football I plan to get my education and graduate and get a good job and pursue my career. Once I have that all set up I definitely won’t forget about football. I will coach football, whatever level I can, and move my way up. I will also be a trainer for football players also to help them get better.
