Comment on anything else you’d like Coach McGannon to know that may be affecting your performance. Take your time and be thoughtful with your comments. Remember to be honest. These comments help me understand why you are thinking the way you are. DO NOT WRITE “N/A“ or “nothing else“.:

I am a 2-way player, and made all state my sophomore and junior years in football.   I love the game but sometimes I am too intense.  I get after my team mates if I think they’re not working hard enough.  In basketball, my strength is defense but I often get called for fouls I don’t agree with. The refs bother me sometimes.   I know this is not good.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
