“I don 't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I 've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.”- Robbie Fowler. When we were children our mothers and fathers would take care of us. Whatever we would need was provided by them, they were out support beams, our shoulders to cry on, and our correction officers when we were in the wrong. They were also the ones we ran to when we had our scars and bumps. We knew that they would give us the right things to make us feel better. When we get older we begin to make riskier decisions, some of those decisions turned out to be worthless and end in injury. As a high school football player, I knew that I was taking a risk with my safety, but I was not worried because football was something I loved. My football team, the Cy-Fair Bobcats, were on a 3 game winning streak, and that week’s opponent was not too intimidating so we knew we were in for a win. We started the game just as planned, two offensive drives resulting in two touchdowns. Around this time we began to think that if we scored just once more, we would have this game in the books.

A day in the summer there was a football game played at Kimberly’s turf located in Kimberly Wisconsin. A 7th grade Kimberly football team was playing another great team called the Neenah Rockets they had a massive running back that had this bushy mustache and they had a pretty fast good throwing quarterback. The Neenah rockets had great talent but so did Kimberly. This game was going to be a great one, cold fans crowded the stands eating fresh popcorn and very chocolatey hot chocolate in very white cups as the game started it was 0-0 after the first 4 and a half quarters and in the last minutes something big happens when we are on defense… WORK ON Before the game started we were in warm ups doing frankenstein's, lounges, karaoke, and four’s etc.

“Touchdown Lafayette!” This was the start to my high school career and we were losing in the first half of the game.

The referee’s whistle pierced the warm and soundless autumn air.

I had reached high school football which in Texas is almost equivalent to college football believe it or not, football is almost like a religion.

After weeks of two-a-days in the hot, Texas, August heat, I made varsity my freshman year. While I was extremely relieved because this was an incredible accomplishment, my goal still wasn’t within reach and being a freshman on varsity put an enormous amount of pressure on my back, therefore, my work was far from over.
