2022 Sean T. Johannesen

Six years ago I found out about a local youth football team that my friends were joining and decided to check it out.  I fell in love with the sport and have been playing for that same team going on my sixth season now.  I did not have the strength and speed when I first started that I have today.  I would be out of breath very easily and have trouble running and keeping up with my teammates.  Over the past 5 years I have worked hard to improve my endurance and stamina and now try to teach my fellow teammates how they can improve as well since I am now an example of what we can accomplish through hard work and dedication to training.

As a lineman on a small team, I have gotten used to being both offensive line and defensive line and am happy to play in whatever position my coach feels is best suited to help the team around me.  Although I mostly play lineman I can also catch and run the ball decently.  The highlight of my playing time so far is when I was on defensive line and was able to quickly react and pick up a fumbled ball to run it in for a touchdown!  I also enjoy playing basketball and look forward to doing both in high school.  Although I lost my birth father before I started to play football, I have an awesome mom and dad who have supported me the whole time and continue to push me to be better every day.  I am excited to see what my future holds as I work towards a college degree and make my parents proud!
