As we talked, I started to see the QB in a different light. I saw that he was not just a star athlete, but a person - a person with flaws and fears, just like me.

And as I look back on my friendship with the QB, I realize that it’s not just about him and me. It’s about the entire team. It’s about how we came together, how we supported each other. We started talking, and I learned that he was struggling too
But as we talked, something clicked. We started to open up to each other, sharing our fears and doubts. He told me about the times he had felt like quitting, about the pressure to be perfect. I told him about the pain and frustration of being injured, of watching my teammates play without me.
