Control the controls control what you can control and you know , you know , everybody passes success is different so . There's a lot of trials and tribulations that you may go through that somebody else might not go through so just control what you can control . The most important thing I focus on while I'm training is basically like my speed because I've never been the biggest or the strongest , so I had to be better at like something .
What I focus on is really first of all ball security as a running back like that's like your job like you gotta protect the ball at all means and um protecting the quarterback you know that's another important thing . And really just scoring like you gotta get points on the board as a running back like they depend on us on us to score so challenges I faced in my life that I had to overcome was like being at a small school , you know , I didn't go to a powerhouse like Saint as man or those type of schools . I went to a small school , you know , where football really a lot of people ain't really make it out for football or even make it out for nothing .
Things like your grades , you know , studying , and then with football you gotta prioritize like extra work , you know , meeting with your coaches and stuff like that . So it's all you just gotta be willing to do those type of things and like set goals for yourself some goals that I have is really just . Being the best person I can be for my teammates , you know .
So like being at a small school , not really getting as much recognition , you know , not really getting my name out there , so . So what I did was like go to football camps , you know , to get my name out there and this and that so that was one of the challenges that I have faced in high school . Uh , what I did to get recognized is like , like I said just .
A teammate , how to be a good teammate , you know , teamwork that's like important , you know , once you get to this level it's not just about you you like , like that's really something that the coach is ingrained in your mind like . To be able to win , to , to be able to be successful , you gotta work as a team , you know , football is a team sport like , well , what I do to help me balance academics with football and stuff , I , I kinda like set goals for myself , you know , and like you just really gotta be willing to complete things that you need to do . You gotta prioritize .
