As a student athlete, there are going to be days where you feel exhausted or frustrated. That’s when it’s most important to reconnect with why you chose this path. Whether it’s the love of the game, the desire to earn a degree, or the drive to set an example for others, remembering your purpose will keep you motivated through the tough moments.
For me, it’s about more than just football. The opportunity to get a college education while playing the sport I love is something I never take for granted. My teammates are like family, and we’re all pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves. When things get tough, I remind myself of that and it helps me push through the grind.
