Position: Half Back, Kick Returner
Player: Julie Wicher

October 3, 2003

--What I like most about my position:

Halfback: the offense as a whole is like a machine. I love to be a part of what makes it run. Seeing the results of all our hard work every game is awesome.

KR: There is not really a designed play for KR. All you know is to go left or right and the rest is up to the you.

--Tips to being successful at my position:

Bottom line; practice, practice, practice. Visualizing the run is important, going over techniques such as form running and cutting. Always keep your head up and watch for opportunities. I try to anticipate what the defense is going to do so I can create an advantage against them.

--Suggestions for others playing my position:

Perseverance is one of my favorite terms. Never give up. Never think there is something you can’t do. As long as you believe in yourself, work hard, set goals and strive for them then no matter the outcome you have succeeded. There are two very important things I constantly remind myself:

1)Don’t judge your success by what others have accomplished.

2)Focus on progress not perfection.
