Quote:Written Option: Reflect on one moment in your player’s career (childhood, college, DSFL, or NSFL) where they faced an important turning point - perhaps a season-ending injury, unexpected trade, position switch, or a difficult decision. How did your player’s reaction change the way that their career has unfolded? What ramifications has their choice or circumstance had on their future or on the league?
Ne Mo, the starting Fish Tight End for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, has had a number of moments in his young life that ended up being notable turning points in his career. This includes his mother passing away while Ne Mo was still just a young clown fish, meaning he was raised entirely by his dad - Marlin. This moment was quite influential, but it isn't the moment we will talk about.
The major turning point in Ne Mo's desire to become a weaponized clown fish Tight End was when him and a bunch of his fish school friends were clowning around, and Ne Mo, who up until that point was a shy young fish, was dared to go "touch the butt". Ne Mo, deciding to puff his gills for once, went and touched the butt, yet was captured by a team of divers. Ne Mo was taken to a dentist office in Sydney, Australia, where he would often pass the time watching television. This is where Ne Mo fell in love with the game of football, and decided to use his slippery speed to becoming a world-class weapon in the passing game. Upon Merlin rescuing and reuniting with Ne Mo, Ne Mo told his dad what his career was going to be, and look at him now. (217 words)
