List these three in order of importance and why: Film Study, Strength and Conditioning and Practice?

•        I’ll say Film study because you have to study the opponent, study yourself, watch certain signals and learn the plays. Mental reps are important. Next would be, practice allows you to work on your techniques it gives you physical reps. My motto is you practice like you play so I give 100% in everything I do at practice. Strength and condition are last because technically you are conditioning during practice, but still, it is important to get stronger and bigger, stay in shape and improve your body during the offseason and in season.

•      I missed an assignment in a game in cover 2. The number 2 receiver cut out at 7 yards our break rule is 5 yards I missed judge how many yards it was and let him get the first down. I reacted by locking in and when they did the play again I broke on the ball. I overcame it by learning from my mistake.

•      The biggest adversity I dealt with was when my appendix burst at the end of my Junior year. I was shocked when I found out. I was going into my last year of football and the doctors told me they don’t know if I would play again and I shouldn’t be alive. My muscles caught the acid in my stomach. I overcame it by staying prayed up and just not giving up. I worked out twice a day with the team and after that with Coach Hendrix!
