For senior Arrion Springs, football isn’t just another game, it’s a way of life.
“It’s a way to express myself by showing true leadership, and taking out another team,” Springs said.
Springs plays football in every position in jersey number ten. Soon heading off to College as a Corner back. Yet his biggest excitement at the moment is the upcoming “Under Armour All America Game”. He will be playing with football players from all around the country.
“It was a honor, because I’ve always wanted to play in the game, and the fact that I was invited makes it even more special for me,” he said. “I do feel that I have a lot to prove, I mean there will always be judgement from people, but I can only prove them wrong when I’m on the field.”
Though he has a lot to prove he continues to stay focused and keep on striving for success. Springs has the support of his teammates and his family for this big day, and with all the encouragement how could he not believe in himself. The game will be in January, held at the Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
“As I head off to the game, I know my Rider spirit will help me focus, and keep a strong mindset,” Springs said.
