(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[Mojojojo]

Ever since his struggles with his weight, nutrition, and mental health during high school, Ernest has always had an appreciation for three positive forces in his life: 1) the sport of football and the support of his coaches, 2) the counselors that helped him identify, articulate, and overcome his struggles, 3) his high school sweetheart, now wife, Constance. So, while he dreamed of playing football professionally, when he went to college Ernest decided to study sports psychology and always planned to practice whenever his career in football came to an end. So if Ernest hadn’t had such a successful debate for the ISFL draft, that’s where he would be working with young athletes to optimize their performance and personal well-being. He was always more interested in team sports and the extra social and organization dimensions that it adds to performance. So, while he would likely have branched beyond football, he would have found himself most in his element working with other teams.


Even if Ernest had decided not to pursue a career in football, it’s likely that the game would still be a part of his life. And in many ways, his life — and indeed his family — would be very much the same. He met his wife Constance during one of the darkest, most difficult times in his life, long before his sports success. And they had stuck by one another through many ups and downs. So for Ernest, a committed family man and always one to support his wife’s ambitions and career, nothing much would be different on the home front.
