In most of life's lessons you are not the one teaching, you are the one being taught and that goes with most things in life. Well football is no exception, all my life I have had someone teach me something new about football, even now after 14 years I am still learning how to be a better player. The people who taught me all these lessons about football are not only teachers, but they are also leaders in my eyes, they took me under their wing and showed me that I can be much better than I already am. Seeing what they have helped me over the years has inspired me to become a leader on and off the court as well. A perfect example of this is that my freshman year of college I was one of the few kids who actually started and my teacher at the time was a senior, he taught me how to play at a high level at such a young age. He eventually graduated and became a first-team all-state player, but after he left I felt the need to do what he did and try to help a younger player become a great player. This is what I did my senior year and now that I'm gone the player I taught is doing exactly what I did and becoming a leader and teacher just like me
