Comparing College Football to Highschool Football (11/2/01)
Carlisle Football to Mansfield FootballLeaving high school and starting college was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. All the people, places and things I once knew disappeared right before my eyes. Although for some, getting out of their house and a new found freedom is what they are seeking in their college experience. For me, personally, I liked the way things were, but I knew I couldn't stay seventeen years old forever. It was time to grow up. One of the biggest impacts on me was the change from Carlisle High School Football to Mansfield University Football. This was a different game all together. Friday, during high school in the fall, were some of the best days of my entire life. Usually, I couldn't sleep well Thursday night, knowing what Friday night would bring. Then when Friday came I was unable to concentrate during class. I had a feeling of deep butterflies in my stomach during lunch. It was just that thought of knowing what was going to go on that night. I didn't have a care in the world, but coming off of that field victorious later that night. When I went to the locker room right after school to study that playbook one last time before entering "game mode" I could feel that feeling that
What I found wasn't at all what I expected. If I had to read two playbooks for one test I wouldn't be as good with both as I would with only reading one of those books. That makes a big difference from having to get better at two. only high school football can bring to a seventeen year old boy. I'm glad these things happened to me and not someone else. I knew after that first day of practice that I would become a better defensive back. Arriving here at Mansfield University, leaving all my fellow football players behind, felt really different. I arrived here at about three o'clock p. In most cases not a good one, but I will come around I always do. Becoming a stronger person in itself was a very positive thing to happen to me. I came here not knowing what to expect, not knowing what to see or do. Although these things have happened to me, I still will strive for success in and out of the classroom. The change from high school to college has been very different for me.
