I'm not gonna take back what I said about the coach. But I am going to say, I'm tired of being disrespected and put down on my team just because I dont play in the games. All I want is a chance to prove I can play and gain respect from my teammates. I don't care about starting, I just wanna play. I have heart, I've busted my butt for 2yrs, working hard in the weight room and harder on the field. I started last season weiging 160 now I weigh and estimated 200 lbs. I just want to gain the respect of my teammates, my coaches, and eveyrone who watches me. All I want is a chance 2 shine, one time b4 the seasons over. I'm tired of comments like "You don't even play in the games" when I try 2 step up and b a leader, or comments like" Your never goin 2 get in a game anyway" when I make an open field tackle on someone bigger then me. All I want is respect, I don't want favoritism, I don't run my mouth, I want my chance , and the others on the sideline 2 have their chance 2 shine. Some of the others have made great plays in practice, but never see a game from the field.
