I owe every player a huge 'Thank you'

This season I've been taught a lot by the players on this team. I've been taught to never take one single day or second for granted, because you never know when your last "play" will be, not just on the football field, but in life. I've been taught the value of teamwork and leadership. They've taught me how to live life with an open mind, and to never say never about anything, ever; and that living life with class and dignity are the only things that matter in the end. Knowing what you want, now and in the future; never letting people doubt you, and always believing-whether that be in others or yourself.

I could go on and on, but I don't want to take up too much time with this. I wish I could write something special for each and every player, or at least senior on the team, but that would take up too much of your time, too, so I'll just keep it general.

To the Seniors:

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me feel welcome on the team, even though I'm not a student anymore, you will NEVER know how much that means to me. Thank you for helping me realize how passionate I am about what I do, and for letting me be on the field with you for two years. Please remember this, you have the rest of your life ahead of you, and you all will do great things, but always remember where you came from and who was there with you to support you. Please cherish the memories you've made, and never be afraid to pursue your dreams, no matter how out of reach they may seem. I've had a blast with y'all this year, and I hope we'll run into each other in the future, since I have no idea how often I'll see y'all. Keep your head held high. You'll always be MY BOYS! I love you all!

To everyone else, I'll see you next year! :)
