High School and College Football Since middle school, I have been playing the game of football, and I’ve loved it ever since. Being a bigger kid, I always have played the offensive line and defensive line positions. These positions require the actions of blocking and tackling. I enjoyed blocking and tackling so playing the game was very fun for me. Throughout the years I have enjoyed working hard to make my performance better.

In my high school, we lifted weights all through the summer, which “catered” the players who wanted to get better. We also lifted weights throughout the school year because my school offered a weightlifting class as an elective. Many kids did not take weightlifting seriously in my
