We were at a wedding when my cousin approached me. She told me that her son is really looking up to me and that he wants to make it into the ISFL just like I did. She also asked if i could talk to him because his grades were not the best.
Directly after that conversation I went back out to my car and got my football. I went back into the wedding and started looking for him. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw me, especially after he saw what I held in my hands. He didn't need a lot of convincing to go outside and throw the ball around a bit.
During our little throwing session I talked about his plans and his way to the ISFL. I made sure he understood that in order to go the US and play college Ball and later in the ISFL he needed good grades. Because it is really hard for a european to make it to the US. So he needs every little advantage he can get. I think he understood what I meant, even though he is still a bit young. I think he'll do better now
