I have watched football since I was 8 years old. I loved watching it, I tried multiple sports like soccer, rep basketball , competitive gymnastics, swimming, but non of them I loved. In 2022 I worked for 5 months to try out for my high schools sir boys football team. I was doubted by other guys at my school and seen as a lesser then. When the time came in August I tried out. There were about 60 boys there with only 40 spots, I found out I made the team a week later when school started. I played and practiced with them and we made it to city championships but lost 35-0 against Westmount. We got to go to Sossa but we lost the first round. After the football season ended, I played basketball to keep up my cardio, and to work on my feet work and hands. I won the championship with my team. After that it was April of 2023, I signed up for Guelph women’s tackle U19. I never played with girls before and this was my first time, I was mainly a receiver and running back, but I was able to play h back, nose tackle and D end. I played 90% of the positions when my teammates got hurt. At around the same time I tried out of the U18 tackle Team Ontario, I was chosen as the last pick of Team Ontario Black. I learned a lot of that experienced and we even got to go to the national championship and win nationals in our division and be 5th in the country! It was amazing. Lastly, I played boys football again for my schools sir team and I played touch football with girls. I got to go to city championships with both teams but we came second again.
