While the coronavirus pandemic has put a lot of obstacles in the way of resuming regular life, one benefit was that it gave me the time to focus on my physical fitness. I began to work out more vigorously, and control what I ate, with the goal of losing body fat and gaining muscle. I was determined to get in shape and be prepared for the upcoming soccer season, and prove that I deserved a spot on the varsity team.
When the season came around, following an entire 6 months of isolation, I was in the best shape of my life. I felt leaner, stronger and quicker. The hard work all paid off when I made the varsity team, and after a season where my work ethic and drive held fast, I was awarded the 2020 Alfred Schofield Teammate of the Year Award. It was a great honor, and I hope I can carry this momentum into next season.
So, what do you think ?
