Finished playing football at a place that I wasn't enjoying playing football um and that that's a that was a huge thing to me and I'm thankful because YSU has made football an enjoyable thing for me again . And yeah , that's , that's probably the biggest challenge I faced , um . With with my career , like I said I've been playing football my whole life , um .
After a short period of time in spring ball they knew that they could depend on me and I think that that like I said that's a that's a very valuable asset to a team . Personal goals for myself . I , uh , I graduated in December .
And I think that every sports program here follows that same mantra tries to . Um , just have grit and , and work through whatever adversity is thrown at us , um , so it's I , I think that's , that's what I would say why Youngstown . Things that led to earning that scholarship were , so I , I was only a walk on for 7 months here .
Um , I , it was during the spring , went through winter workouts and everything I was doing . A ridiculous amount of stuff on my own to try to get better , perfect my craft , um . And then on top of that I was Working two separate jobs so that I could pay for my school , um .
Uh , kind of , kind of take advantage of it or look past it and don't really appreciate . The opportunity that you have to to further the youth to um help people . Just be be better people um it doesn't have to be football it doesn't have to be athletics based you can go out in the community and help help people and it and it really mean you can you can tell it really means something to them , um , and then you talk to a kid you make their week you they they they know everything about you .
