YOU WERE NAMED LIFTER OF THE YEAR, HOW DO A PLAYER EARN THAT HONOR? Because of the time you put in the weight room during the year and during the off season, I was an Ironman for 8 years, and I think I was able to earn the respect from my teammates, and that means a lot to me. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO AN EIGHT GRADER OR FRESHMAN WHO WANTS TO PLAY 4 YEARS OF HUB FOOTBALL? Spend as much time as you can in the weight room, even if you are a small player, everyone matures at different times, and if you work hard, you will be ready when it is time. Also that you need to give your all on the field and in the weight room. |
