“While I’m here I’d like to thank, mom and dad, they knew the time.”
Audio Two – Top Billin’
What’s life like without a little encouragement?
The high school season was winding down and I was sure my life as a football player was over. I sat on the table getting my ankle taped by one of the assistant coaches. I was asked a strange question, “Where are you going to play football next?”
I responded, “Since, I’m not good enough to play Division I football, I guess this is it for me, coach.”
He quickly let me know that Division I was just one option. There was Division IA, IAA, II, III, etc. Most importantly, he saw that I had the ability to play at the next level. Those words were enough to encourage me to go on and play Division III football, become the starting Free Safety by my Sophomore year, become one of the top 5 in tackles every year and become a captain my Senior year. He believed in me before I believed in myself.
Thanks Coach Jacques, wherever you are! Just one of the countless examples in my life. What’s your story? We’d like to know.
