Football, Football, Football...


Prompt 2
I have made many connections with my book. Both he main character and I have played high school football and have been recruited to play at the next level. Though the character (Micheal) is going to play at a top D1 school while I will play at a D3 school the process is similar. Through out the book it discusses coaches meetings and visits. It also discusses tough practices and game film. The one experience that I most powerfully connected too was the scene where Micheal was visited by a coach and was so nervous he hardly spoke. I remember when I was first visited by a college coach I was also very nervous. I had the courage to t least act cool calm and collected but inside I was a wreck. I remember sweating and stuttering multiple times through out the interview. The is book is a very interesting read for me because of all the connections that can be made between the character and myself. I am excited to finish off the novel.
