The week of playoffs and not being able to be in them

Playoffs have started, and teams are advancing on. I never had the chance to do be in the playoffs. We were close when I was a freshman, we just never got the wild card pick. While the regular high school football seasons comes to a close and the playoffs have started. I look back upon all of the accomplishments I had done while playing football. I was honored with metals and certicicates and my varsity letter when I was a freshman. I have had a individual in my English class push me into the right direction. He gave me a list of motivational music to listen to. This has pumped me up so much and it got my head out of the slumps. He told me just to hang in there and go for it.

Football is one of the greatest things that has happened to me. For as long as I can remember I was a middle linebacker and fullback for my team. I did everything to become one of the best in my school. I gave my heart and soul to play, every down, every tackle, every play. I loved it too much to give it up. That's why i am trying so hard to become a college football player. I might not be able to play for MSU, U of M, or LSU. I know I can play for a D-III school or maybe a D-II school.

Frustration... Back on the rise.

You get to a stage when your at a breaking point. I am at the stage now. I am getting so stressed out with two jobs and going to school full time and on top of that working out. It's just really hard right now. One thing that is motivating me is the thought of college football. I think of me tackling people and the hard practices that will come. I also write on note cards, "Think College Football" That's what is pushing me forward. I have slowed down on my running. My training has just slowed down completely.
I just have to get back into the groove of training. I just have to want it more. I really want it though... I don't know why I'm not fighting for it as hard as I use too. Maybe because the high school regular season is over. Friday night i went to my old high school and was watching the last game. Players told me to suit up and get on the field i said just give me a pair of cleats and a mouth guard and Ill go just like this. That gave me some motivation. At the end of the game my high school coach came up and told me he was going to contact the the school that i want to go to. I just smiled and said thanks so much. That's when I told myself, "I have to accomplish this." My boss is now hounding me, and telling me that I can't give my dream up. She said never give up. Don't stop fighting...

The Beginning

This all started when the high school football season came around, and I couldn't dress up for those Friday night games, because I wasn't in high school anymore. All I think about is football. My friend came up to me and asked why I didn't try out for a college? I told her I didn't know why. She said why don't you? That's when I started to work out my core and upper body at night, after school and work. I started a little at a time just to get my body used to it.
I have been doing this for a few months now. I just started to run 2 miles a day so I could get my stamina, speed and endurance all back in to shape. I run up hills and down hills.I am not working out vigorously, but I am sweating and feeling the burn, and I know it is working.Soon i will start working out hardcore. I need to be prepared, when I go into a college of my choice and try out for the team. I don't want to embarrass myself at tryouts or in front of the coach. I want to be one of the best.
Not only am I training my body. I also am training my mind in school. I wasn't a super smart student in high school, but now that I want to go play football at a private university it will motivate me with my academics. College was difficult for me the first few days. Now I like going, but hate the drive. I actually like doing math and the courses I am taking.
When I get to a breaking point and don't think I can do it any more and am about to give up. I say to myself COLLEGE FOOTBALL over and over again.This saying keeps me going. Also one of my best friends goes to the school that I want to go to, and she tells me to keep my head up, and your better than those players out there. That's when I know I got this. I just have to want it.

Why d3 football

I chose to blog on d3 football, because I'm training to become a middle linebacker or fullback for a d3 school. I had multiple opportunities to play when I was fresh out of high school. I waited now I am a freshman at a community college, and I'm looking back and wondering why? People tell me that I could play better than some of those guys out there. I know I can I just have to want it. That's why I just started to train a few weeks ago.
