 My name is Armin van As and I'm 20 years old. I was born in Cape Town, South Africa and that is where I still live today. I used to play football, I've been training and conditioning myself to play tight end. That would be three pieces of wood picks, that's a porridge, two eggs, a banana, apple, yoghurt and a glass of milk. I have a dessert, that would be my mother's peppermint crisp cake with a special blackjack. I throw football balls about 60. Do you have a favourite football team to follow? My favourite football team is the New England Patriots. My favourite football player to follow, that would be Rob Kronkowski, tight end currently for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Do you have a favourite football moment in your life so far? Yes, I actually have two. The first one is the Kronk, still farming, drug balker in the 2018 AFC Championship game and the second one is Malcolm Butler's Super Bowl winning interception in Super Bowl 49. Do you model your own game after any other football players? Yes, I tried to model my game after Kronk's game. He was a great blocker and I'm currently working on being a star blocker and a reliable blocker. I also know the Route 3 very well and you can run his routes pretty well and crisp and that is what I'm working towards. What is your best squad and bench press? My best squad is 310 pounds and my best bench press is 240 pounds. Do you in primary school, what sort of a classmate are you? I was a dedicated worker with high academic standards, I competed in multiple sports and my leadership qualities often led to me being elected as class leader. What is your best footy, vertical and broad jump ever recorded? My best footy is 4.6 flat, my best vertical is 35 inches and my best broad jump is 10 feet. As a rugby normally trained for football and what sort of training would you normally do? I jump 6 days a week, I do catches 7 days a week, I do routes 5 days a week and I also have a workout program from Billy McMillan that I follow 7 days a week. Qualities to bring to a team apart from physical attributes? I perform excellent under pressure, I remember plays perfectly, I can read the references and I can motivate my teammates when the morale is down and I also motivate them generally. What advice would you give to a kid coming through wanting to do what you want to do? Be prepared to work hard every day, know that you will face and encounter the others and what is important is that you take the comments and let it motivate you rather than getting it down and be prepared to make the most of the opportunities when they come along and if they don't come along you must make out, you must go out and create them. To make you the most of that to become a pro football player? Football players are considered as some of the best athletes in the world and I would be happy, I want to be able to compare myself with them. I'm a natural competitor and football is the ultimate competitive sport. I like to impose my wall on my opponents and I can't wait to take the field and start taking some names. If any prospective coaches were listening, what did you want to tell them? You are adding a competitor to your roster. I once continued a single round of card game for 40 minutes because I did not accept the loss. You would never have to tell me to step up my game or to improve my fitness and I'm an every day type of player and my fitness and abilities will allow me to do this. What do you become a professional football player? No doubt. I've been working for this so long and I've been dreaming of this and this is what I want to do.
