WHY I GRIND
I grind because I love this game. I grind in practice to be the best athlete and teammate I can be. Each day brings new challenges that my teammates and I use to push one another to make ourselves better. I grind in the weight room so I can punish my opponents on the field. I want to beat my opponent over and over throughout the game so that by the end of the game he wishes he had never shown up. When my opponents see the viciousness of how I hit, I want them to tremble with fear knowing they could be next. I grind with speed and agility drills so that Running Back knows he cannot escape what I have coming for him. I grind so when that Tight End tries to slip a quick slant pass in on me, he goes back to the huddle asking to be put back at Guard or Tackle. I grind in the classroom so I will be prepared to be competitive long after my football days have passed. Why do I grind – I am a competitor, therefore I grind.
