My story too.
My moment came at the end of the season... and not on the field.
I was the blocking dummy during practice for the whole year... most of the seniors on the team would pound me all day long trying to get me to give up. Well what I didn't have in skill I made up for in heart. After the last practice of the year all of the seniors lined up and talked to the other players. When they got to me they made a huge deal about me not quitting the team. The respect level shot up a few notches for the rest of my time in high school. No one really messed with me after that.
