What It Takes By: Aaron Ballesteros

The harsh condition that every athlete must push himself or herself to,
undergoes an incredible transformation in physical and mental capabilityin order
to reach a certain goal. The spot of course that everyone tries to push
to is that #1 spot. The place where you get to feel proud of all the
hard work you put in and the reward it gives you. Last football season
was a horrible upset for the Varsity. A 0-10 streak was the last thing we
had on our mind to shoot for. J-V had a 2-8 season. But, in the upcoming
months we plan to turn the Caprock tide and pull an overall winning
season. The only way to do that is to be in the weight room. My
theory is the more you sweat the less you bleed. Our leader in this
strengthening campaign is Coach Douglass Fairchild. We spend countless hours and
just pure pain to become stronger and quicker than our opponents. Most
of my time is spent to become the best I can be and gain significant
mass to have the power to make plays on the gridiron. So if we
consistently go work out over the summer and up until next year, we will
be one of the top teams to reckon with!!! We all strive for success, but I
will be sure that I am physically prepared for next football season.
