Hello valued readers!
Today we want to highlight a spectacular story developing in world of arena football. The Arlington Longhorns arena football league team has begun their season by stringing together five straight wins to hold an undefeated record. The team has obviously been experiencing a great deal of chemistry which has turned into success. The team has received additional motivation and inspiration to play harder in order to honor the passing of former Longhorn player Alex Sanchez. We at The Great Change got the chance to catch up with his brother, who is also a Longhorns football player, Andrew Sanchez, and ask him about how the start to the team's season.
Our conversation is below, enjoy!
The Great Change: How has your team’s recent success with a 5-0 start help you honor your brother’s memory?
Andrew Sanchez: I feel like it's a great honor and tribute to him so far. Ever since he passed, the entire team has kept his name alive and has committed to excellence for him. However, it's not how you start. It's how you finish. So we are looking forward to staying perfect and winning that ring for little bro!
The Great Change: What is the ultimate goal for your team and organization this year?
Andrew Sanchez: The ultimate goal is to remain undefeated for the duration of the season and win that championship ring. Every season we expect nothing less than to be perfect.
The Great Change: Perfect starts are clear signs of a team’s chemistry, how would you describe the team chemistry?
Andrew Sanchez: I would say our chemistry is getting better each week. It helps that most of us have been playing together for a few years now. With that being said, we still have a lot of work and improvement to do in order to get where we want to be. We are a family oriented team and that is what puts us on a different level than most other teams. We truly care about each other as brothers on and off the field.
The Great Change: How has your game improved from last season?
Andrew Sanchez: I am playing with a lot more attitude and emotions this year, obviously with the loss of my brother. I think that has made me a better all around player. I want to leave it all out there now more than ever. Most of all I want him to be proud of me and I never want to let him down.
The Great Change: What words do you have for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one, that might help give them strength to carry on?
Andrew Sanchez: Honestly, nothing will ever fill that void and it will never feel the same without them. Good times and bad times will continue to come and go, but the main thing for us is to remember the special moments we shared with that loved one and to look at as many pictures as possible. Seeing him smile on my side is what makes me feel better. A lot of people get down and out and cannot function for a while. But we have to remember that life goes on and responsibilities never go away. So I use that as motivation to go even harder in everything that I do to make him proud. He always wanted the nicer things in life and I'm gonna get it! ALL FOR HIM!!
Stay tuned to the Arlington Longhorns and their chase for a championship and perfection in honor of Alex Sanchez and their organization!
Thanks for reading with The Great Change!
