My dad talked to me about my goals. I really thank my dad. He never pushed me but gave me all the help in the world. So I never took another drink in high school after that.<br> When I got to Missouri, I made it a point to let everyone know that I wasn t a drinking guy. Family, education, God and work ethic are what is important. <br>Coach Toub talks about Brock s work ethic in a challenge that he accepted.  Everybody thought it was impossible. We have this awesome hill nearby. The challenge was to run up to the top and back down twenty times in twenty minutes. Brock had it all planned out and he met the challenge with two minutes to spare. <br>Brock thinks highly of his strength coaches.  I give them all the crdit in the world. My strength coaches have really helped me and our team prepare for football. <br>Brock s motto is  Dream Big. His dad told him that he would have to work harder than everyone because he wasn t blessed like others.  I believe you should take advantage of every opportunity. I love the Latin phrase  Carpe Diem which means  Seize the Day. That s what I want to do everyday now and in the future.<br> After my playing days are over, I want to be involved in football. I want to give back what I ve been given to the kids of the future. <br>I understood after my interview with Brock what the media guide said about him being the most dedicated athlete in America. Brock is a true eleven  atrue Upper Limit athlete. We thank him for being such a great example! to surround myself with good people and, thankfully, I have been in a good environment. <br>Whenever an athlete like Tom has extraordinary strength, the question of steroids invariably comes up.  Steroids have never been an option, says Tom.  I never even think about it. If you think you need steroids, you are thinking and training wrong. Nothing could ever make me take steroids. <br> The Be An Eleven concept is important here at Park High School . . . to be a great individual in all areas like athletics, school, family and community, says Tom.  To me, it is going the extra step to stand out. Spiritual values are also important. It also became known to me that Tom prays every day.<br>Tom tries to be an example, and he is very much aware that the younger athletes and students are looking to him for leadership. He tells others,  Have fortitude. Have courage and strength of mind. Make your family important. If I couldn t play football again, I would still consider myself fortunate. <br>I want to mention two other amazing facts about Tom s life. First, Tom does not have a driver s license and does not drive. His driver education class conflicted with his workouts and the start of football practice, so he chose football.<br>Second, Tom was elected homecoming king last fall. At the presentation ceremony, he gave his crown to his little brother Joey, y Pe7c):dDңnaUT$r(bi1: 8(_g>+HjmQ6YT A GU .巪V4co '&8)(\TH(NN,]`1DH &ٔ C!@ {e m i#MPN#1 ""e'ٵMEi^Uܡzԡz"Ael$=4jM
