Football

  As everyone knows,I'm pretty much a guy who loves to be involved with music or performing arts but I also like to try different things because i'm multi-talented. So, I decided to try football for the 2013 season to see if I'd like it. I mean I watched it all the time and I figured why not experience the real thing. I knew that it was going to be challenging when I signed and i'm always up for a challenge,so I figured why not.
So when I started football,I figured its actually not that bad. I mean we did weightlifting,running and a few drills. However,my body wasn't really feeling all of that. The weightlifting wasn't really a problem,it was mostly the running because I'm out of shape. Adding on to that,my shins were constantly in pain because I walk everywhere from school to home and anywhere else and since I was going to be running,I knew that was going to be putting more pain on it. But I just kept trying to push through it. Then, we started to go out to the football field and practice different positions and stances and it was definitely interesting. Since I got put as an offensive lineman,I had to squat down into these very uncomfortable positions and learn how to fire off from that position to block,pass and tackle. Since my shins were in pain most of the time,I'm tall and I'm big,those positions were challenging to get in. Luckily with some help from the coaches and some practice,I'm able to get in the stances a lot better now. I'm actually doing things a lot better since I've started being on the football team. Even though,I have gotten kind of discouraged at times from knowing that I keep ending up being a screw-up at times,I didn't let that phase me and I still stayed on the team. Eventually,I'm gonna be known as a great football player Of course,I still need a lot more practice and coaching but I'll fully catch on sooner or later. Besides,this is my first and last year playing football for high school so I really have to make it count and I'm willing to go the extra mile to do that.
