Personal Statement

I've loved the sport of football ever since I can remember. My grandfather was a football player for Bear Bryant and went on to become a high school teacher and football coach.  My dad was a college football player as well and also went on to become a high school teacher and football coach.  They taught me that being a football player is more than the two or three hours you spend on the field every day.  It's studying, eating, hydrating, sleeping, and living like a football player twenty-four, seven, three sixty-five.  Great players aren't made on the field they're made off the field.  Doing all the things others don't want to do because its too hard or isn't important enough to them.  I'm just looking for a chance to show you that kind of dedication and effort.
