So finally I can start lifting weights again. It sucked  not being able to lift weights for about 6 weeks. While I was recovering I saw people in my sports getting really strong and I wanted to surpass them and get better. Going through surgery helped me appreciate lifting weights more and motivated me to get better when I can start lifting weights again. While going through recovery my cousin  Hebron reassured me that I can still get strong and better. I made a goal to recover like a beast in football season. A prime example for me is my cousin because he would tell me" no matter what you do don't give up." When I started lifting weights I was really weak I felt like a little boy. John aka "BIG JOHN" my wrestling partner was lifting weights and saying "Get on my level Zion." Now I am back in football and working hard for season but also so I can destroy the team captain  Big John in wrestling in front of everyone during wrestling season and surprise my wrestling Coach.

   My cousin went back to Pittsburgh once again for football. I wont see my cousin for a while now. While he was here he was a good example for me. Since I have started lifting again I remember his words of inspiration so I will be motivated to get better. When I lift weights I feel super weak because of surgery but that's not going to stop me because I know as I work hard I can only get better. While Hebron was here down in Anaheim he was on a really strict diet and he was constantly exercising because back at work per each pound over the weight they tell you to be is a fine of $7,000 dollars out of the players pay checks so you can imagine how strict they are in the NFL.My cousin is a hard worker and I look up to him as a great role model.
