Well as you all may already know the football chapter of my life is now officially over. It was a long one to say the least and one HELL of a ride. It led to so many things (maybe even coaching???) and has taught me so much (determination, cooperative skills, leadership, etc.). Through it all I would just like to thank the people who got me here, no matter how small they think their contribution was, it meant a great deal to me. A word of advice, encouraging me, giving me praise, so on. I would not have made it this far without it. I would also like to give some one a special shout out. Now, as you may have noticed through my career I always had one hell of a fan base. Mom, Dad, grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, female admirers (at least in my mind thats how I saw it), but I would just really like to thank my mother, Laurie Callies. She claims I get all of my athletic ability from her (sorry dad), so if that is true thank you. Thanks for being at every game possible, no matter the drive or the competition level. It could not have been fun watching me play when I was young, but you did it anyways. You always picked me up when I was down, had a cool coaches perspective on the game (although you did not think that I was always listening to your advice, I was), even praising me even more than I should have been praised. I thought I was my number one fan, but you always found a way to one up me. You truly are my number one fan and I am so thankful for all that you have done for me. Special shout out to your maternal skills specifically in 9th-10th grade. You know what I am talking about. Youre a great kid, keep up the good work lady.
