Brian LaManna credits early action with building confidence. As one of the smallest kids in youth football, he outworked teammates to earn a starting spot, learning that effort could overcome physical disadvantages.
Around seventh–eighth grade.
Curious if there's, like, a connection there between being forced to just do things at a young age and now in a position where you just. You just do things.
I think there was. I think it gave me, like, some confidence just to, like, just go do it, like, whatever I wanted to do. And then that led to, like, me doing those things and gaining even more confidence, if that makes sense, and kind of spiral. But like, even just one example, like, you know, you know me, jc, I'm not the. Not the tallest guy in the room. I'm definitely not the biggest guy either. And, like, I love football growing up, in terms of why watching it. And I was like, how can I be a starter in football? And I was like, you know, my dad didn't even want me to go off of the team. Like, I was probably, like, the smallest kid when I started in, like, seventh, eighth grade, but I was like, no, I just gotta do it. I gotta go for it. Like, I love this. Like, I'll figure it out. So I think it's little things like that where I just, like, went forward. And then along the way, like, I realized, like, the only way I'm gonna start and get on that field is if I outwork every single other person, because I'm never going to be the tallest. And I am fast, but not quite fast enough to just rely on athleticism.
