back.My job is using my speed，strength and skill to carry the ball and keep running until either I score or I get put down.And it does hurt.
I've broken two fingers and hurt my shoulder，but the worst was when I trapped the ligaments (韧带) in the back of my leg.I had to take a year out.But none of that put me off—all I could think was how I was going to come back stronger.Besides training with the team，I now have my gym routine to get fitter，faster and stronger.
Although people think American football is aggressive，there's much more to it.Every team has its own playbook，outlining everyone's role in different scenes.My playbook was 73 pages long.Words can't describe how it feels when it all comes together on the field.
American football has changed my life for the better.I've learned time management，how to take responsibility for my action，and how much I treasure being part of a team.Within the four lines of the field，it is physical.Emotions run high.If you're on the opposing team，you are my enemy.But once the game is done，we're like a big family.
