Wisdom Agyemang '23 Recruiting Profile

In my opinion, football is like medicine for me every time I feel like I don't belong. All I have to do is focus on practice and every time I put on the helmet and the shoulder pads every negative noise in my head just stops. I mean I tried out different kinds of sports like basketball. It was all good and all but I did not feel like it was my sport but did not quit. I tried to work on it for like a week and did not feel anything. So I moved on to soccer which I was good at because I have been playing soccer since I learned how to walk. It was fun and all but still was not for me but every time my friends go out and play I follow them and play, we all have fun but it is still not my sport. But when I joined football in 2022 I was not good but when I walked into the locker room I felt like I was home. The coach was cool and said I made the team the next day without trying out. The next day I walked to the field and met the players. They were all big and strong. I felt so left out when they were out there doing what they were supposed to do. I was ready to play but the coach did not put me in any game but I always proved myself at practice. They told me they already had their starters which I was not mad about because most of them were juniors and I had next year but they put me on special teams. Then when the season was over I did not stop working. I went to camps and the gym to make myself better working day and night to get better at the sport. I want to be good at what I love the most and it is a very dangerous game that can get you hurt everytime you are on the field. But I don't worry about getting hurt. Because of my hard work and dedication I became a co-captain on the football team and I am proud of the work we all put in. We lost 2 games but it was all good because I have faith in us that we can turn the season around and win the championship. The city doesn't believe in us so I always want to prove them wrong. This is my personal statement. Thank you for reading it.
