Madden San Miguel is a 10-year-old football prodigy with the ultimate goal of making it big in the National Football League. And what would be better for a prodigy like that than be associated with the name of a legend in the league? Baby Gronk started training at a young age, and his father Jake San Miguel runs his social media account, establishing a brand for him. Even JJ Watt could not keep himself from noticing the kid.

JJ Watt disagrees with pushing young kids into intense sports training

A day ago, The New York Times put a post on their Twitter handle about Baby Gronk, reflecting he is a young boy who plays football very well and his dad says, “He’s a real athlete, not a normal kid. He has been trained and programmed since he was 6 years old.” In response to this, JJ Watt, a legendary ex-NFL player, expressed his disagreement with it.

In his reply, Watt disagreed pushing young children to specialize in one sport at such a young age and undergo intense training. He stated, “I’ve always said that kids should play multiple sports and be allowed to be kids. While I don’t oppose advanced leagues or better competition, no child should be solely focused on one sport all year and no child should be training like a professional athlete until at least high school. After all, they’re just kids.” Who is Baby Gronk? The phenomenon behind the headlines.

Anthony Pettis’ quote “Attitude determines efforts” upholds a sports-centric ideology that attracted me to this vibrant world of team spirit, enthusiasm, and emotions. More specifically, it was the UFC domain that encouraged my strive as an avid follower. Soon I found myself resonating with another divergent sport- the American football. Ironically, just like UFC, its in-game energy brought out the calmness within me. This aspect, eventually, led me to step into the arena of writing, and I cultivated a love for NFL through words, stories, and experiences. Precisely, I have come to enjoy watching QB of the Bengals, Joe Burrow, take on the field and exhibit his magic. It is his serenity and accuracy during the match that inspires me to narrate the insider scoop on the player's thoughts and feelings. This allows my articles to contrive on three pillars—facts, analysis, and opinions. Throughout my journey, hence, I have covered varied aspects of the matches, from the core sport highlights to the off-court banter. I believe this connection to the NFL game on so many levels has become my reason for generating over 700 articles, hoarding the interest of thousands of readers, and achieving Publishing Rights at EssentiallySports. Away from the NFL enthusiasm, I spend my time glued to the screen watching other sports and gaining beneficial knowledge.
