 First time during practice I was like, you can't really expect me to get on that because I mean I wanted to until I got up And I was like this is probably when people start bailing out and I was like I Which I mean I've been around cattle and horses my entire life. So that was the only thing that really pushed me through it Got rigging on and I they put me down the shoots and ran my hand in the rigging and I was like, oh I guess this is I guess I ain't got no choice but to go outside with the horse So I slid down in there and nodded my head and it all started from there I mean you got a 15 to 1800 pound horse in a metal box that There I mean they're not they're not tame horses. They're they're meant to buck and these horses here They're they're PRCA horses. So they're the real deal I mean, it's all mental. It's like playing football if you go in scared and oh man I don't want to get hit you're not gonna be a good athlete and that that's kind of one thing that's helped me is just I mean I've been around Been around some crazy stuff and working cattle and so that's one thing that's helped me get over my fear and that's That's one thing It's made me better not being scared and just going in with a all-in attitude I started playing football last year my junior year never played it before at all and I've always worked on the farm and stuff never had much Time and I got a bunch of buddies. They played football and I got my arm twisted into going into it and Tell you the truth I kind of went into it just to kind of stay in shape and be better for my rodeo and working out It's probably my the biggest key because I mean your it's neck to neck with a 18 to 2000 pound animal That you got to Be the best you can be it's like going up in a boxing match if you're out of shape You're gonna get your tail whooped and get thrown overboard and long story short I turned out to be a pretty good athlete for playing football being a tight end and starting kicker too Adrenaline like I love football like I said, I've only been playing it for two years and I've done the rodeo and a lot longer than that but Just the rodeo and a football corresponds because I mean they're both rough man sport they're They both can pat it compatible with each other and the adrenaline I mean You can take a whole football game and that they'll wear you out Then you get a good adrenaline rush, but the rodeo and a bearback riding you get within about Five minutes you have an entire adrenaline rush of a whole hour and a half two hours of football game Um, I'll get up five o'clock usually come down here and feed horses and then Check on all my other stuff before I go on a day. I don't have football I'll get to the gym about six o'clock me and two other my buddies We work out for about an hour and a half before we have to go to work and then from there on I'll do anything from Feed cattle put out hay haul hay Doctor yearlings basically a day's day's ranch work from about seven thirty to about five thirty in the afternoon to six and Sometimes later than that. This is what I live for. I can I can work 13-hour day and get up and do it again. I plan on going to college on a rodeo scholarship and Coming back I'm getting a degree in ag business and I'd like to pursue ag real estate and that way I'll be able to kind of help run the farm and Take it over and I'll still be able to have another career outside of the farm that way I won't be I'll be more diversified been blessed to be able to grow up on a farm like this and with two supporting parents that Drag me all over the country because I mean this ain't a cheap hobby. It's not like football I mean school pays for all your events and football, but this here it gets expensive. I mean one of my favorite lines by Lane Frost, it's Win or lose keep a smile on your face because you're you're living somebody else's dream And that that really hits home to me because some people they're not able to do what I'm able to do and I may go to a rodeo and drive a long trip a 12-hour drive or something and Get bucked off the first couple seconds, but I was able to go there and give it my best
