The Finale
Well, this will most likely be the final blog from me. I will be summarizing everything that has happened this past year and talk a little bit about my future plans.
One thing that I never did mention this year at all was the fact that I am going to be playing college football next fall at Illinois College, located in Jacksonville, Illinois. My new Offensive Line coach graduated from Lincoln, so he’s got a good relationship with the coaches here. With him coming from Lincoln, he always tries his best to get more Lincoln kids to the next level. The funny thing is I remember the exact date when I texted the coach. It was Christmas Eve, I was on my way to a family Christmas. I am still undecided on my major. I’ve already been in contact with some of the other commits. One of the commits I actually played against him, it was our week 3 game against Jerseyville, me and him were going at all game long. I’m excited to start a new chapter in lifting and football at Illinois College. There’s a kid from Quincy Notre dame, 2 from Rochester, 1 from New Berlin, Jacksonville, Collinsville, I’m sure there are more.
My senior year has been pretty exciting I would say. I’m not going to go into depth with everything because I have already done that. I have done a lot of things to my body that I would have never thought of doing before. We finished our football season 4-5 again in back to back years, which is extremely frustrating. I will say this, I am ready to get out of this school. I’m ready to start something / somewhere fresh. A fresh start is always good
There have been multiple years where I would want to lose some weight but gain muscle, the start of 2023 was the first year where I actually decided to commit to it. After losing the weight I proceeded to lose a good amount of muscle in the process. With losing the muscle It really set me back a lot within my weight training. I went from almost benching 270 to barley benching 225. That is the most frustrating part about going through a cut.
I hope you enjoyed reading my Blogs, and I hope that you were able to learn a few things about me. Thank you for reading
