That's a big thing too , is just balance , just knowing , having a good relationship with your legs and your mind , just all working in one motion . So that's what I would say , challenges . Uh first of all , I am , you know , I'm , I'm 511 .
You know , when the next week starts that Monday , you're , you're ready to go instead of , you know , hanging out , staying up late on the weekends , you know , you gotta , you gotta make sacrifices for yourself . If you really want to be the best you could be . So growing up , uh I played football since I was four years old .
And so being , you know , a shorter guy in the business that I play , I , I would have to say , you know , being better , you just gotta be better . You gotta , you gotta , you gotta put more work in . And when you're at that , when you're at those camps and you know , you're , you're trying to showcase your talent , make sure your detail and everything , you do your footwork , your , you're catching your ability to listen , make sure everything's , you know , tuned up and just perfect going into my senior year .
It's just a lot of guys have been through scout team , you know , those , those guys who are starting and , you know , they're gonna go to the NFL , they've been on the scout team . So it's something that's , you know , some players don't have to go through , but if you have to go through it , you know , look at the positive , you know , focus on whatever you're doing , you know , focus on your technique , you know , focus on things that you gotta work on and you can still better your game on scout team , even though you're not , you're not , uh , learning to play on the offense , playing on the defense , you can still better your game . So that way the next year you can work to not be on the scout team and , you know , on special teams .
That's something in high school where it's just like , you know , you just run down and kick off , you run out on punt and in college it's , there's a lot more to it . There's techniques you have to learn and , you know , it's a battle because all those guys on scout team , special teams is their way on the field , you know , early on in their career . So , uh , academics are , are extremely stressed , you know , in , in , in college because you have to , you're not , you're not eligible if you don't get good grades .
