It was the middle of the summer in 2012, my mom and I were talking if I wanted to play football or continue playing baseball, because my season had just ended.

So the next day I had made my decision , it was to play football.I had already had my pads and all the other gear , all I was missing was football gloves. I called up my friend Trenton to see if if he had decided to play football or not, he said, “Yes what about you.” I told him ,“Yep.” He said “The best gloves are Cutters and they’re $40.”

When my mom got home that night I asked her if I could get Cutter gloves for football, my mom said,” Sure as long as I don’t drop the ball.

The next day was football sign ups , so my mom and I went straight to the football fields and signed me up. After that we went to academy in Longview, Tx. Once we got there we went right to the football gloves and there they were, Cutters. When my mom looked down at the price she was flabbergasted “$40.” my mom said in shock.”Ok John.“ My mom told me. So  when was time time for practice I got my gloves and helmet,then my mom took me to the fields.

At practice we were warming up and i didn’t drop one pass.

After practice my friends and coaches ask me, “Where did you get those gloves.” I said “ Academy in Longview, Tx. “Even though they were $40 they are worth buying them”

With the right gear you will do better.
