(S4) - PT #2 - Dual Sport Stars

Tight end Joseph Askins used to be a prolific cross country runner when he was a younger athlete. Cross country was the first sport Askins ever participated in for school. He started out terrible as he was a fat child, but this only pushed him to get in shape and try more sports. In fact, it is what got him into playing football in the first place. Starting out in cross country, Askins was terrible, he couldn't even run a mile without having to take a break, but he kept on pushing himself to get better and better. By the start of high school, he was a cross country star, and decided to join the football team as a tight end. His ability of running for so long in cross country really helped his endurance on the football field because he was so used to running and exercising for so long. Many of Askins current teammates make fun of Askins for this because it is hard to imagine a 270 pound man running on a cross country team because he is so large, but he did it in his youth. His cross country history really has helped Askins become a dominate player on the football field.
