Gannon Jacobson is a Senior at Southeast of Saline. He is the Starting Quarterback for the football team. He also plays a key role in games and practice. He is a great captain and leader of the football team. What is your favorite part of football? “My favorite thing about football is just the brotherhood we have. It’s a fun thing to be a part of, and I love it when we are all out there playing and competing together.” Gannon loves activity, and loves to get better, so I asked him, What do you like about practice? “I like how everyone is trying to get better and improve, so we are better as a team. I also like how everyone is picking each other up and helping others learn things.” Every sport has its ups and downs, plus certain challenges that we face, which lead me to ask him, What are some challenges that come with football, which could be home life-related or school work-related? “Some challenges would be just not having lots of free time. You have to get into a good routine to get homework and things done because football takes up a lot of your time.” Gannon is not only a football player, but is also a starter in basketball, and is a potential state track athlete. You learn a lot of things from the sports you play. Gannon, what are some valuable lessons you learned from football? “You get a lot of valuable life lessons out of football. You get leadership qualities when you are pushing others and encouraging others to get better. You have to have trust in your teammates because football is a really big team sport. It also makes you mentally tough because it’s a lot, and you don’t have time to dwell on the past.” Throughout Gannon’s thoughts, we see a repeating factor, and that is team; we are a team and striving to get better. He believes in his teammate to make the right choices and contribute in general. He has strong feelings towards the team and the program in general. As one of his teammates, I know that he believes in us to make it to that last game and perform to the best of our ability. #Prov’em Right
