About midway through the season, I got to go start at quarterback. Next thing you know, there's only a couple left. I was 11th out of 13 quarterbacks my freshman year and most of those guys quit. And it took until the fifth game my senior year to do that. But it was everything to me at that point in my life. If you don't know about Saint Ignatius and who they were at the time and what it meant to be the starting quarterback there, you probably don't understand that. Outside of my family, that was the biggest moment in my life and a dream since I was 5 years old. But really what always meant the most to me was the first time I ever started at quarterback at Saint Ignatius High School.

I learned a lot about the game and how to handle players, but mainly it's how to be at your best at all times." Just be consistent every day for the people I have the opportunity to coach and lead. I'm not going to change if we win or lose or depending on how our season is going. I'm going to treat people the same way, coach them the same way and that's something I'm proud of.

That was something I really cherished and enjoyed. It's such an incredible opportunity to have that responsibility and know that every single day when you wake up, that there are hundreds of people counting in you to do your job as well as you can possibly do it. You have to be at your best every single day. Just how much they're counting on you and how much their families are counting on you. "I learned a lot, but really what is most important in this profession and that's making an impact on people's lives who you have the opportunity to coach.
