Work ethic is all about being dedicated and focused, I always try to stay organized and make sure I’m giving my hundred percent. I love working out that part of my daily routine all year round. Ladder drills and cones drills are my two biggest things I work on when I’m on the field. But overall I take it very seriously and to stay in shape.
