I’m not really sure where to begin answering that question because I am a lot of things.. I am a strong woman, mentally and physically. I am a former Division I athlete. I am a current strength and conditioning coach. I am independent, stubborn, hard-working, and sarcastic.
I’m a daughter, a sister, and a girlfriend. A football player’s girlfriend. I’ve tried not to loose all of the aforementioned characteristics of myself in my boyfriends’ life, but that has been a lot easier said than done.
My boyfriend and I are getting ready to begin our fourth season together in this ‘football life.’ I’m sure you’ve seen some of it on social media: the post-game, smiling embraces, the wins, the rings, the playoff games, etc. But what you don’t see is the tough times: the losses, the injuries, the days you just feel like giving up.
Those tough days are the reason why I wanted to start this blog. Football players are real people, they struggle just like everyone else. Despite the perks that may go along with the ‘job’ (because even at the collegiate level, it is very much so a job), every single job has its’ bad days, every single job has its’ tough days, and every single spouse knows how it feels seeing your significant other struggling. Through this blog, I hope to shed some light on the ins and outs of what this ‘football life’ is really like.
