Meeting Caleb meant a lot to me for multiple reasons. For one, I’m going on my third season of girls flag football as a quarterback. I’ll be a senior this year and I want to take this sport to college with me. I’m just not ready to be done playing.<\/p>\n
I recently got asked, “what’s one regret you have?” and after thinking for a bit, my answer was “not starting flag football as a freshman.” Our coach was pushing for me to be on the team, but I just couldn’t commit to it. I used to struggle committing to something fully because I just wanted to do a little bit of everything, but once I finally took the chance, I fell in love with the sport.<\/p>\n
Last season, I was really focused on improving, so when I would go home after practices, I’d watch football clips, sometimes of NFL teams and sometimes of other girls flag teams. Caleb was one of the quarterbacks I’d watch. It helped me be like, “maybe I’ve just got to let go and play.”<\/p>\n
Watching him practice in-person on Tuesday was so cool. I was trying to take some pointers on his movement and footwork, because I know that’s something I need to improve at. I enjoyed just watching a professional play and even though it’s a practice and not a game, he was still putting in all the effort he had. I feel like that will make me get on the field now and put forth that same effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meeting Caleb meant a lot to me for multiple reasons.
