BlessedDevin look bro, I’m gon fill u in from a player and a brother perspective. Not Everyone gonna be ur friend, when u step on that field for practice or scrimmage, fight like ur life depends on it. I was benched my whole freshman year no one thought I was ever good enough, prove me wrong champ and just kno, hard work IS success. I’m heading home to my junior year now and I’ve been working on the fundamentals offseason and getting stronger. Focus on football and school and don’t let nobody tell u nothing. I’m a linebacker for varsity now btw😉

Asked coach what I needed to do to become qb1 told me what I needed to do, then told me either way I wasn’t going to win the job last three games season qb1 started blowing off practices, I was already working on what coach told me to work on, coach named me qb1 and went off in last three games threw at least 2 touchdowns (rare since our offense is super run heavy) for like 125 yards, won the last three games which were against the three toughest teams in our division. Joe Burrow like story if you ask me.

the most important thing for sure is to show up, and have a good attitude. in the off season if there's weight training or workouts of some kind show up. I'm a starter this year I think the biggest part has been me coming and being there. when we are in the weight room and only 15 people show up the coach will remember who is there. the coach moved the last LT to guard and put me in as LT Because I showed up and put in that little bit of extra effort

I remember last season when two of my teammates were suppose to finally play from suspension and one of them was suppose to start, but they still couldn't play until the week after, opening me up to play that game. Everyone told me I played really good, but I still never got much playing time after that game despite nearly 100% attendance and alertness in practice. Now I'm in varsity, still waiting for my opportunity.

He's a very talented athlete and 2. he played Smart, like he knew how to adjust, and react in every situation. that's why he beat me at WR. so yea

@eddiemcdevitt 6 жыл бұрын

I started at the beginning of the year but I’m really really small so the coaches moved a tall linebacker to corner and I got moved to the bench for the next 4 games. We made it to the championship and the corner who was starting over me couldn’t play, so I got to start. I had 8 tackles and a big pass break up on a long pass with 30 seconds left and we won 13-12!!!! Edit: I started on punt, kickoff, and kick return the whole season
