Football

"Ballet is a contact Sport. Football, is a Collision sport." -Coach Evans

When I tell people that I play Football, they go like, "You!?!? You play football?!?!?!?!" ... I do play football. Mission San Jose has the worst football team not just in the MVAL but, in Fremont. You can tell by looking at our JV team (see picture)... I mean compare us to any other team and you will see the difference. :P

Some people ask me why I still play for a team that "sucks" so much. Sometimes I ask myself that question.... "is it worth it to play for a team and go to practice every day just to lose every game?

I think it's worth it. Think about it... high school will be the only time I will be able to play football. I'm not going to get a football scholarship to play for a college...

"To play basketball or soccer, you will only need a ball. However, for football, you will need much more than just a ball to truly experience the sport: "football."

This is a great experience and many of my friends all regret not joining the football team. It's a once in a lifetime chance for many.... you better take advantage of it.


I got defensive MVP reward :P
me... Isaac Chang at 145 lbs. played Defensive Tackle (a position made for the strongest and biggest players on the team). Why had I done so well in a position that doesn't fit my build? Well, iI am small and agile. In high school JV football, the offensive linemen are'nt that big..... So right when the ball snaps, I do not use strength, because the Guard/Center/Tackle will easily overpower me, but I use agility to get through the gaps and therefore making TFL (tackles for a loss) and getting about 10 sacks this season.

If you are reading this and you are still in middle school/high school, I encourage you to try out for the football team. If you don't make the team, you didn't make it. But, I hope you at least try out for the team. Football is not only a fun sport to play and watch but, it also provides one with many skills such as: leadership, teamwork, and teaches you not to give up. Common guys! This is an once in a lifetime chance!
