Aimee the bench sitter.

So the truth is, I have always been a bench sitter. All of my life.

I've been so used to it that I just stopped trying. At everything. Even fun stuff.

I see joining the Fighting Fillies as a way to press "restart" in my brain. Before I started football, I tipped the scales at nearly 375 pounds. I spent my nights at home, doing nothing except for stuffing my face. My first two years playing football were spent just trying to get into good enough shape to actually play a sport.

But now... now, I'm ready to play. I am faster, tougher, stronger, and leaner than I've ever been. I am on a team where I have to prove myself all over again, and this time, I'm ready.

I have taken away my option to quit. That was what always stopped me in the past. If I knew I could quit, I would. But I found my inner strength in the try-outs for the Fillies when I was one of two people who were able to complete the strength test. Body builders couldn't last 90 seconds, yet I could. That really opened my eyes to who I could be.

I'm ready to knock in some heads and do some damage. Are you ready to watch me?
