Defense
how it begun
I have played football since I was in the 1st grade! I was 5 years old and it has been great ever since. To get me ready for football I had to go head to head with my older brother. It hurt at first but I got used to it.
Hitting
I hated getting hit! It hurts big time! It felt like getting hit by a 18 wheeler, well if it was a 6 foot guy with jack muscles. But when I hit a guy I feel the adrenaline starting to rise! It makes me want to do it again the next play.
Shed blocking
On any play you have to try and get into the background if you are on the defense of line. You could swim, rip, or bull rush. My specialty is bull rushing. I have to push my guy into the person with the ball. It’s not easy but practice makes perfect.
