For Josh Garden it was always not a question of if he would become a professional american football player, but when. There was a short time though during his high school years that he took up another sport that goes by the same name. "Football", or "futbol" came to Josh Garden during his sophomore season of high school. He has some friends who played on the team and everyone knew how athletic he was compared to his peers. His friends came to him and convinced him to come out and attend tryouts, even if he didn't intend to join the team they convinced him it would be fun to get out there and run with them. The coach put Josh Garden at Striker and told him all he had to do was run fast down the sideline. In Josh Gardens first attempt he saw his team get the ball and he bolted as fast as he could behind the defender. The mid fielder gave him the pass and it was immediately blown down as offsides, Josh Garden has ran past the defender without any idea he was doing something wrong. He was quickly explained what the rule was and that he couldn't be past the defender before the ball. By the end of tryouts Josh Garden had ended up with multiple breakaways, multiple missed shots, and a couple goals. The coach offered him a spot on the team but to Josh Garden it wasn't a sport he was interested in playing any more than that day. He declined the invitation and went back to the game he loves, the real "football".
