She watches intently on TV when the Cardinals are on the road, and moreover, she is a regular at training camp. In fact, she waits for Jax after every practice, until he has signed his last autograph and conversed with the last supporter. Then they walk off the field together. For April, Jax is a friend, someone who makes time for her, and someone who makes her feel important in his life. For Jax, April is a friend and an inspiration as well.
Training camp is a rough place for a pro football player.
Everyone but the marquee players is competing for a roster spot, sometimes against good friends. The competition is fierce and the days are grueling. In her unique, serene way April brightens the camp for Jax and his teammates. Without knowing it, April puts the whole day, and perhaps life in particular, in perspective for Jax with her graceful presence. One man can make a difference in this world.
