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.

  1. Yea, that's really awesome. if i have any advice for you, it would probably keep yourself motivated. As it is for me, as long as your motivated, nothing can get in your way. it all sounds great and it looks like you have a pretty good grasp on your doings and you seem determined. keep it up man.

  2. I know exactly what you are talking about. I had opportunities to play soccer in college but I chose to be done with it for some stupid reason. Now looking back at it and watching boys high school soccer, is really making me miss it. I might start training also to play in college next year or the year after. It sounds like you have a really good workout plan though and I know what you mean when you say you feel like you can't do it anymore and you have to make yourself do it. That happens to me all the time but I just push through it and keep thinking about all the benefits I will have from it.
