The wide receiver runs downs the green field for pass. ” Twenty, fifth-teen, ten, five,  a touchdown was made by your Arlington Tigers!”  The crowd roars for no other than Cam Nelson. Cam has played football ever since he was in the 4th grade, and his whole family is involved. His father ( Coach Nelson ) is a football coach for Arlington High School, his mother attends every game, his sister was an Arlington dancer, and his older brother is now a football coach along side his dad. The Nelson family is very involved and affects Cam in a very positive way.” It’s crazy, because its something you don’t see very often, but it”s so fun I love it! ” His entire family is very supportive.

Cam’s football career was on the rise, during his sophmore year until he suffered an injury to his left knee during a 7v7 game vs. Cordova in the Summer. Cam was in critical condition and had to go into surgery. “It was brutal and really tested my faith. I had to watch people play the sport that I love and sit on the sideline.” His whole season was ruined, and had him in doubts.

Cam’s father, Coach Nelson, would push him to keep working in the sport he loved on and off the field. ” He would push it to the limits where I was able to get better.” They worked at various gyms, private workout sessions and more, which motivated Cam to the point he is at today.

Cam is now a future starter for the tiger team and has huge plans. ” My overall goal is 1,000 all purpose yards.” He thanks god, and others for always pushing him to his limits and shares his advice with others.” Be patient and trust what your doctors, parents, and God what is trying to tell you. ”
