Good to go.
Both, my boys were destined to play football since. I mean,
their birth pictures were taken with a football, football
staff, Ali and thereby thing. It's a, it's a tailor thing
football football is in their blood as they can start to
walk. My husband, brought him out to games and every Friday
night. That's just what we did
and they brought out their little bag of candy and sat in
the stands with their little Gorman. Jerseys on. Oh, Jake at
our older son coming here to
Bishop Gorman.
It's a big thing. Goldman has a deep Bloodline with my family.
And my grandma graduated here, mother graduated uncle. And
my brother just graduated a couple of years ago.
He used to come to our football camp with a six-year-old. See
that come full circle the kid that just love the program
since he was six, you know to finally make it to this program
and be there
is amazing. And it's not usual and not normal for high school
to get that. I own my legacy, the be just being a leader, not
only on the football field but also in the classroom, he
understands what being part of this G is about
And he's basically
Rewritten how we're going to do football here at Bishop bar.
Jake and his brother ball are very close. Just like you
expect two brothers. To be, he's been my biggest role model
on my life. Not only on the football field, but also just
being an overall just great person at first, his brother,
taught him all that. He
knew, then as Jake started, catching up to Bo, it kind of
became a
little bit of a competitive nature,
but in a really
mature way,
not only do I compare myself almost to him, but I just see,
All of his techniques and I try to do the same exact thing and
it's
obviously been working pretty well so far.
Jake was young when he started going away for Jake to be able
to play was at the same time in the same team as his older
brother.
So he was playing on a team with guys. Three years
older.
They never really knew he was the younger player because of
his size. They always just assumed it was his age level.
You got bigger older kids. Yeah. Kind of taking shots at
you.
And he learned pretty quick that, you know, He can also
hand out a shot, his freshman year. His coach would joke.
That's my 14 year old. Yep. That's my 14 year old going
against your 18 year old his size and stature is definitely
different than
you know, most when college coaches come in. It's very easy
to see who they look for a first. Everyone could be born
with a good body. But it also takes technique and hard work.
You
basically challenged us to make
new benchmarks for everybody else coming through because
he's broken those things. So, you know as far as
the athleticism and the strength
Something that when your college coach, you see all
these things you can't help. But man this is this is the kid
I want. I would describe my playing style
very very aggressive. I like to say in this part. Everyone
needs a switch sometimes. I'm like, oh I can see right when
the switch goes on. He's a right kind of
mean and nasty and eat on the field. He can't roll with it,
but during each play, you know, he's very tenacious, very
vicious. I heard this quote and I live by it. Uh, their
greatest part about football is moving to man against her will
from
one destination to another. I'm like,
That's like a
like he's throwing people around. Thankfully for me.
I know how to turn it on and turn it off, very fast and
people say I'm one of the nice people off the field, but
completely opposite on the field.
Jake's been fortunate to be able to do a lot of community
service, and he really kind of kind of took on to it. Gorman,
does require the community service hours. And at first, he
was kind of
like a but then he got into this place called Spirit Horse
Therapies. My overall job is to not only take care of her other
horses, but
tennis and the sides are walk. The horses and make sure
whoever is on Horseback or riding and doing
the therapeutic classes that just make, sure nothing bad happens.
You could see some of the times when he would come home.
He was getting more out of it than they were. I'm also
a coach. I've done three sessions of Next Level, which is
a younger Generations flag, football
coaching. The little kids,
I think was probably the highlight of his life so far.
At the end of the season,
they all wanted to be like Jake,
they all wanted to play like him, be like him, look like
him, act like him. And I think for that for him that was super
rewarding.
All-American bowl game has been a goal all my life just for me
to be in this position is unbelievable. It's kind of
surreal
because to think he's selected as top hundred in the nation to
come to this game.
It's undescribable great way to end outfit, his high school
career
could write it up in. A better
thing. I'm most proud of probably for Jake is just
the total person and a young man that he's become when I hear
people compliment him on just being the nicest kid. They've
ever met.
I think that's a huge accomplishment.
He's just a great kid
and a great player and that's what I'm most proud of.
