College Football

As I progress through my junior year at “Cougar” school my college search is beginning. After I come home from weightlifting I always find several letters from colleges wanted me to come visit their campus, ultimately these poor attempts of recruiting me are thrown in the trash. It seems these colleges don’t provide would-be students with the information that we desire to hear.

I know that I would like to be involved with the military or in a government intelligence agency, and then retire as a farmer back in my home state of corn- covered Iowa. I also really want to play college football at a Division 1 or 2 school.

With these lists of demands I begin my college search, but I have to do several steps to accomplish getting into the college that I want. I’ve recently talked to my counselor and to my football coach about playing ball in college. Luckily, I have the “required” height, the basic speed, and the talent to be a recruitable student athlete. The next steps that I need to continue with in becoming recruited and being offered a scholarship is to go to college camps this summer at the schools that I would like to go to. I also need to compile a highlight film either of this year’s play or more desirably of next year’s season play.

I need to continue working hard during the off-season and to lead my teammates who are not involved right now with a winter sport to work hard. Also, I need to continue to lead my team next season and summer. I’ve also been told by my coach to work twice as hard, as he told me I’d being play both ways next year, on offense and defense. I know this opportunity of more playing time will show to scouts my abilities, but I need to work now to be able to do this.
