The GRIND is what I love most about football. Being able to compete with myself to get better each day. Being a QB is the toughest job on the field I have to always stay sharp, confident, and display leadership qualities.
My mom inspires me to be the best version of myself on and off the field she pushes me to my limit. She never lets me quit on myself. It helps me become a better athlete. Even if I make a mistake she encourages me to keep going, she always says to me “the next play is always the best play”.
I have been playing football since 5 and I’ve kept up my reputation as being the best in my city. Always winning that starting QB spot and leading my team to the championship every year is an accomplishment I’m super proud of. I am a 4x MVP going into my 9u year and I’m going for the 5peat.
