Mick’s next goal is to make the varsity football team. It may be a long shot for him, considering he is going to be entering school as a freshman. Mick, however, has the drive and the passion to pull it off. He works harder than anyone on and off the field. Over the summer he gets a call from the varsity coach. He wants him to come out and practice with the team. He worked really hard at those practices. He eventually makes the team, along with his friend Drew, another freshman. The two of them give it their all, trying to get some playing time. Eventually, they both start, due to an incident with the starters in their positions.
This is something I found myself relating to quite a bit. When I was a sophomore all I wanted to do was make the varsity lacrosse team. I went to open gyms over the winter to work on my game. A few of my friends, same grade as me, had the same goal in mind. Along with some of my friends, I was on the varsity team my sophomore year. I was happy to be on the team, working with some great players. I eventually worked my way to a starting spot that year. Mick and I had a lot in common when it came to this situation, though he was a freshman. I enjoy when I can flashback to something that occurred in my life while reading a book, and that is exactly what I did here.
