I love the sport more than anything. Schuff relates stories of watching games with his dad, playing catch during halftime, and traveling to college games, factors which created a love of the sport. He s the most influential person in my football career. Schuff s career in football began as a quarterback in Little Guy football. He learned the downside of the game early, suffering a severe injury in the fourth grade which almost resulted in the amputation of an arm.
Injuries are part of the game.
Despite setbacks, Schuff stuck with the sport, playing linebacker and defensive line before settling in as halfback for the Billings Senior High Broncs. Schuff s high school career was full of successes, yet his most vivid memory is not of a win, but of loss. The final game of his high school career is still his most vivid memory. The game itself was a win, but leaving his friends put a damper on the victory. It was the last game I could play with them.
