Since I'm from Canada, football isn't as big as football is in the United States so I never had the luxury of playing football at high school. I had to settle for a city team where I never had to try out to make the team. I'm also a very strong student in the International Baccalaureate program making honor roll every term of high school which is 13 straight times up to now. Balancing football and school isn't too hard and has actually taught me a lot about managing my time between the both.
