My son just walked on to the football team at the University of West Alabama. I know it's just D2, but he didn't play at in high school or community College. He only got into football when he transferred to UWA from Community College. He dropped out of band and started lurking around the football team as the team manager and learning the sport.
What I love is that he didn't make it his first year. He was too wet behind the ears. Then had issues with his GPA in his second. He took a semester off and re-centered himself and went back this year with the goal of getting his GPA up and trying out this Spring. The DC told him after he was in. So he accomplished all of his goals this year.
I love the lesson in resilience here. It will stay with him forever.
