My name is Santiago Macias; I am a punter/kicker at Claudia Taylor “Lady Bird” Johnson in San Antonio Texas. Four years ago when I moved to the States I never thought football would become such an important part of my daily life. When I started playing football I discovered a passion for kicking and punting, because of my height and size every coach wanted me to play a different position other than kicking and punting but I quickly made them know that punting and kicking were my strengths. I started kicking my freshman year and played for the freshman A team. By the end of my freshman year I was a varsity kicker material. Starting my sophomore season I was the starting kickoff kicker.
By the end of sophomore spring football I discovered my how god my punting skills were. My junior season I started at the punting position, and remained the kickoff kicker for the varsity team. My highlights will show you what I am capable of, and how strong my leg, and kicks are, which will be able to put me in a great position to be able to play football at the next level. What my highlight won’t show you is what I do off the field. Not only what I do on the practice field, but in the weight room as well. I work hard every day to be the best I can be, I do not settle for missing a kick, or for shanking a punt because I believe that there is always room for more improvement. If a shank or missed kick happens I will do whatever it takes to fix that, and be able to be the best I can be. By working out on a daily basis before school, and practice kicking I believe I can become an essential asset to any college. Punting and kicking are one of the toughest positions there can be in the game. Not only because it takes a lot of coordination and physical strength but because it takes a lot of mental strength, and I believe I possess both of these strengths. I believe I am prepared for any physical challenge, or mental challenge that can await for me at the next level. I wouldn’t be able to be where I am if it wasn’t for the amazing family I have that supports me thru my ups, and downs. I know all of my hard work, and my work ethics will pay off, and I believe they have put me in a great position. Where I can have many opportunities to be able to play in the next level. |
