Hard hits, great plays, fast paced, and raw passion. These are just a few of the phrases that describe one of the most popular sports in the history of America. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and epically young boys make this sport not just a passion but a way of life. Football has given me so much throughout my lifetime and will continue to entertain me until I’m either dead or the sport stops being played. All good passions start somewhere and this is my start to the great sport of football.
As a young boy there have been very few things that have kept me entertained and busy; school, family, and football. Since my first chiefs game at 8 years old I have followed the sport and made it a passion of mine. My dad took me to a pre-season game against the Chicago bears. Listing to the crowd roar and watching the players leave it all out on the field. I asked my Dad a million questions about the game trying to learn as much as I could. Since then I have watched games, followed players, studied statistics, and even managed fantasy teams. Then in seventh grade my love for the game grew substantially.
Before I reached my middle school years my dad had been trying to get me to join peewee football, but I wasn’t feeling the physical concept of the sport at the time. When seventh grade rolled around I was ready to learn more about the game that loved, so I manned up and enrolled in middle school football and became a member of the North town eagles. If anyone knows anything about the small town of St. Joseph MO, where I am from, sometimes we are short of people so we had to combine the north side district, and the catholic district into one team to take on the power house of eastside . This started my personal experience with the sport of football but it wasn’t anywhere near the end of my time with the game.
