Regardless of how football is depicted from a health standpoint, it

is an extremely physical sport that requires all 11 players on the

field to work together in order to be successful. As many of you

may know, there is a lot of controversy regarding the coach here

at the highschool. However, with my personal opinions on him put

aside, I am extremely grateful for one thing he taught me over the

past two years. He has taught me what it means to be a hard

working individual and challenged me to keep working hard every

day. This meant more to me than just working hard for the team in

the weight room or on the field. I applied it to my job, my school

work and everything i did. There is truly no say in how much you

can accomplish when you set your mind to something. Hard work

is a trait in life that everyone sitting here today will eventually have

to utilize whether you realize it or not. I challenge all of you to

forget about what mindset you've had in the past and change to

one where you push yourself to your limits. After doing so, there is

nothing that can stop you from doing great things and

accomplishing massive goals in the future that awaits you.
