Q & A ft. Caden Milton

1. What made you choose football?

I chose football because of my dad. Growing up he’s always watched football and talked about his days playing. Hearing how much fun he had made me want to try pee-wee football and it turned out I was surprisingly good. I just stuck with it ever since.

2. What drives you?

My driving factor is the love of football and I know that my might sound cliché, but in order to put your all into a something and let it drive you, there must be a deep love and respect for it in your heart, especially in sports. I truly believe you have to love every part of the process.

3. What do you believe are your strengths?

I’d say my strengths are probably my ability to think critically and my technique.

4. Where have you improved most this year ? (Could be in your personal life or in sports)

I’ve improved overall athletically and physically the most this year. I’m getting stronger and my coordination I think is getting better.

5. What has football taught you?

Football has taught me leadership, the importance of your brothers in life, and discipline.

6. Do you have any goals for after high school? If so, what and why?

I mean after high school, if the opportunity presents itself, I may pursue football, but if the football doesn’t workout I plan to go to a trade school.

7. What makes you different from other athletes? Why should coaches choose you?

I feel like my heart makes me different than other athletes, I’ve never been the biggest or strongest guy, but I am a willing to outwork the guy next to me.
