There’s nothing bigger in Texas than high school football.  After all, who wouldn’t want to move from Westlake High quarterback to NFL superstar, like Drew Brees?

Except Westlake High School has 2655 students.  If you are the 26th best football player, or slightly below the top 1%, you’ll be sitting in the stands with everyone else.

At Acton Academy, if you are on a middle school or Launchpad team, you’ll get to play.    A lot.  Usually against people about your level.

Except if you are exceptional.  Then you play club sports or in the big leagues.  Like our graduating Launchpadder who is going to the US Rowing National Championships.

And guess what: she never even mentioned to anyone she qualified for nationals!
