I have been playing Junior All-American Football since I was seven years old; I am now 13! I love the game, and I love running the ROCK.
Football has taught me to be dedicated and given me determination to play my very best. It has also taught me to never give up and to give respect to my elders.
Playing last year, for Yucaipa (Calif.), in Pee Wee football, brought me one of my fondest memories. We were in the 2nd quarter. The quarterback hiked the ball and then handed it off to me on the left side. I was clogged in a hole with about six people around me. Everyone thought I was down, but I busted out, came around the right side and ran for a TOUCHDOWN. That was a memorable moment!!
I have had many good coaches, but Coach Stager is the best. He not only teaches us the game, but teaches us how to best better people, and he really loves us. He doesn't have any kids of his own on the team, but he is dedicated to us because he loves us.
Football is America's favorite sport because it is exciting and brings people together.
