What a crazy year.
I was STOKED when my older brother started 3 years ago and got drafted after his first season. I felt like all our childhood wrestling had paid off for him, and I was hoping to join him someday. After putting in the work in the gym and the cafeteria (gotta get those lbs added), I was excited to join this season as a rookie to see if I could do the same. Ernest was the perfect older brother - he guided me through lifting sessions, walked me through how to talk to recruiters, got me a Thera gun - the WORKS. But the one thing he couldn't walk me through was my first game... BOYYYY was I nervous - although I was pumped to play and see how far my talents could take me, I was worried I wouldn't be good enough.
And DID YOU SEE ME! 8 whole pancakes my FIRST game out the gate. Honestly y’all, I was hoping for 4 on my debut game, but I showed up, worked hard, and could not have been prouder of my performance. Though let’s be real, the true highlight that day was getting to facetime Ernest after the game and tell him “I’m coming for ya.”
Although its still TBD, I hope to see him in the big leagues soon!
