Every athlete aspires to be a professional athlete one day. The approach to their respected sport is what divides many athletes' fantasies from reality when it comes to reaching the next level. Athletes like LeBron James and Tom Brady are great examples of professional athletes who go above and beyond to care for their bodies, including offseason sessions to develop new routines that will carry over into the season. Thurgood Marshall running back Joesph Smith Jr. is working extremely hard to achieve his dream of playing in the National Football League.
"My ultimate goal in football is to leave a great legacy behind my name, I want to be known as one of the greatest running backs, said Joesph Smith Jr".
Joesph can do almost everything he sets his mind to if he has the proper mentality. You must take care of your body if you want to be a great athlete and have a long and successful career. Joesph has done just that, losing 40 pounds while transitioning from offensive lineman to running back. Losing 40 pounds is a difficult task that takes a great deal of effort and sacrifice. That just means he will go to any length to succeed in football.
"I look up to my trainer, mentor, and my brother because he is someone you want to look up to. He's helped me the whole way and has been on my side whenever I needed him, said Joesph".
A strong support system can help anyone, and Joesph obviously has his brother on his side, cheering him on all the way. I pray this young man continues to strive for greatness and is blessed with the opportunity with his childhood dream of being an NFL player one day.
