Do you think I can hang with those guys? Get that DOG in you.

From Dad to Michael

I have been thinking about your question last night. Do I think you can play / compete with those guys? I know I gave you an answer, but the more I think about it, there’s no doubt in my mind.

You were one of the best players in the state the last 2 years, with bad knees.

Like I said last night, the guys that are older than you on the team probably weren’t as good as you were when coming out of high school, but they have worked hard and gotten stronger and learned to play extremely aggressive.

I believe that your knees are going to heel up great and when they do you are going to get in fantastic shape and you will definitely be able to compete / play at a high level. If you

get that DOG in you,

which I know you have it, there’s no limit to how good you can be. You just have to want it and I know you do!

Super proud of you! Love you!
