It’s no secret – the NFL is a highly competitive sport and making a team is no easy feat. So when my high school friend George Farmer told me he was applying to a professional team, it was hard to keep myself from getting too excited for him. I mean, how often do you hear of someone the same age as you trying to make a pro team – it was like a dream come true!
At first, I wasn’t sure if George would make it; I mean, the competition in the NFL is unlike anything else. But when I heard he was invited to attend an NFL Combine, I was so happy I could barely contain myself. I knew he had what it took to make the team, and the Combine seemed like his chance to prove that.
The weeks leading up to the Combine were full of anticipation and excitement. I couldn’t have been prouder of my friend George for making it this far. We would get on the phone and talk about the Combine and all the workouts and tests he was preparing for. His dedication and determination to make the team was so inspiring and I could feel my own level of motivation skyrocketing.
The day of the Combine finally arrived and I was eagerly waiting to hear how it went. George called me as soon as it was over and all I could hear from his end was excitement and happiness. The hard work had paid off – he was one of the few athletes that made the cut! We celebrated because we both knew it wasn’t an easy feat.
Now George is training hard with the team and it’s amazing to watch how talented and dedicated he is. Everytime he takes the field, I’m so proud of what he’s accomplished. And as time goes by, I know he’s going to be even better.
It’s been a few months since George made the NFL team and it’s a surreal feeling. To think your friend and someone the same age as you have made something so intimidating and challenging, it’s honestly unbelievable. It’s through moments like these that I’m proud to call George a friend and am constantly inspired by him.
Sometimes I think about the moment he was selected to play on the team and it still gives me goosebumps. That moment was truly electric and I’m beyond proud of all George has achieved.
I also remember the day he was selected to play in his first professional game. I was so ready to be in the front row cheering him on. I was so nervous and excited for George – he was living his dream and I was so proud to witness it.
As the game went on, I couldn’t help but smile. I was watching George step up to the challenge and prove his capability and skill. Even with all the pressure, he remained calm, cool, and collected and in turn, proved to be the one of the best players in the game. He scored the winning points and I still cannot believe he was able to do it!
Since then, George has made a name for himself and it’s no surprise his talent is highly sought after. He has become an inspiration to so many and I couldn’t be happier that he has achieved such success. I’m sure it’s all been a learning experience for him too and I’m beyond proud of him.
Seeing George go through the process of making the team, it has been nothing short of awe inspiring. He is such a great example of what hard work and dedication can do and it’s no surprise he made it on the team. From start to finish, George has given it his best and that’s all anyone can ask for.
