āThey call itĀ āHell Weekā.ā
ā...All my life Iāve been pretty athletic and Iām really competitive when running or playing sports. I remember one day when I was a freshman in high school, my girlfriend hit me up saying that she wanted to do soccer but sheād only do it if I would try it with her.ā
āI took it less seriously at first but once I realized she was for real, I knew I had to give it a try! Anyways, after somehow completing the worst conditioning in my life I was ready for tryouts.ā
āThey call itĀ āHell Weekā lol but long story short, I gave it my all. I surprised myself and had a lot more endurance than a lot of kids out there who had been playing soccer for years! I found out I made the team. I guess I didnāt make it it clear that I had never played soccer in my life... But yea, I was even happier when I found out that my girl also made the team! We even played the next three years. Very dope experience...ā
