Mick always wanted to be an amazing football 

player just like his dad. He loved playing it and 

even writing about it, but his mom didn’t want him 

to get hurt. Mick was going to try out on a flag 

football team and his friends Drew and DeShawn 

were going to try it too.

Mick was always the older and strongest kid in 

his grade. They loved playing flag football all 

the time. Mick knew his dad were talked about 

in papers back then and Mick already knew he 

wanted to be a pro-football player.

It was time for Mick to tryout at school and he 

made the highest team with the top dogs. With 

older kids, they were three times quicker and 

better. He made sure he stayed with them. His 

dad gave him advice on how to reach the top.

The top running back for Mick’s team was Drager. He 

was always perfect and did everything coach told him 

too. But they when they had a game, supposedly Drager 

and his friend were having a sleep over and over slept, 

missing the game and they were off the team. That 

moved Mick and Drew up to first string.

After the lost by twelve inches, everyone tried to cheer 

Mick up. He wanted to get fit like the older boys but 

didn’t know how they got big.   He got a costume that 

was a football player for his birthday that he was going 

to wear for Halloween. He was allowed to do chores 

around the house for money to buy him is own games 

or any expenses.

Mick wanted to be just like his dad. His dad was 

big and strong. So he asked his dad how could he 

get powerful like him and fit. He said if you keep 

working around the house and clean up then he 

would show him some exercises in the garage like 

it would be at a gym.  

At school the older kids in the grades above him said 

they drank shakes to become strong but his dad said 

he was too young. He used his allowance money and 

bought a bunch of candy, he used to always eat 

Smarties and he would get pimples everywhere but it 

gave him a boost of energy. 

Mick would go into the garage and lift weights 

but his dad wasn’t there to make sure he 

didn’t hurt himself. He took the candy before 

the workout and it made him last longer.

Through the season Mick would always eat 

Smarties before the games and his coach didn’t 

want him to because they made him really ditzy 

and he couldn’t concentrate on the plays. So he 

stopped for the first game.
