special ability

Growing up was not what I could refer to a walk in the park, looking past the problems with my parents and dad going to prison I was always searching for a getaway whenever I could. Somewhere in the mix I threw on a lot of unneeded weight at a very young age. However, even being slower than the rest and a lot bigger than my friends, I still noticed I had a knack for contact. I realized that my physical specialized ability was pertaining to sports. I know, when I say sports, I leave a lot to the open end. But I literally mean anything that has a necessity to be athletically inclined; I already had the upper hand. Other than being naturally good, I had passion for the game. Passion that I define by an untamable light that refuses to be shaded. My life undoubtedly revolved around the subject. My first year of actual “kid pitch” baseball, and I was blessed to have my first step dad as my coach. He always found favor in creating the team of kids that nobody else wanted, and we would always be a competitor. It was then I noticed, not only a special ability to play the game but a born sense of leadership. Another beneficial factor in learning the game at any age is getting whooped by the other team, and having the ability to know our guys did everything we could at the best we could, and we knew it. This teaches you one of the best things you can learn, that being that sometimes it doesn’t matter what you do or say, but at this time winning is not for you. Years came and left and I was always participating in middle school athletics. At that time, I was a Troy Trojan and I wore that with nothing but pride. In the 8th grade, a week before our first preseason game I was in a four wheeler accident. I was attempting to jump a 850 grizzly, unfortunately, I did so but when we landed my foot was trapped underneath. Hours later when I was finally admitted into the notorious S&W Emergency Center here in Temple, Texas; that we were notified to our surprise I have experienced absolutely no injuries. Instead all of the primary ligaments and tendons have been severely stretched. However, the whole point of this enlightenment was to conclude that I may not have practiced but I missed no games. The next big part of my life in sports is when I hit high school. My freshman year I moved with my mom to a new school, unlike Troy this school was classified as 4A. However, it wasn’t until my sophomore year that I had become a Marble Falls Mustang, which I wore with pride. Being blessed with the coaches I had and teammates as well, I transformed to the team captain that never needed to call the coin. I learned leadership, strategy and drive in my short time. I lived to make an impact on every play, and do everything I could do to get the job done. Those are things I will never forget.
