Every young football player who has ever played the game has experienced a time when he didn’t feel confident. Even the greatest players and coaches in the world have gone through this.

Being small than the other players is never a disadvantage! It was the 6th grade when I got the first indication that I was the smallest player on the field. I was playing football representing my school, the Gisler Gators, on a perfect Saturday morning. As one of the fastest on the team and able to catch anything thrown at me, I played wide receiver.

He did it out of sheer love, drive, and desire for the game. He would practice 4-5 hours a day, every [...]
