My Sit Down With Tate Lindemann
Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Tate Lindemann for an interview about his life. We chatted about his high school career, his love for track, and the artifact he brought with him. I came into the interview thinking that it was going to be the typical jock story, but it was like a slap to the face when he started unveiling his past.
I asked Tate if he could use one word to describe his high school career, and his response was that he would choose the word fun. Tate was a very social guy in high school. He had a large amount of friends, and was considered one of the popular guys. He was the guy that sat in the back of the classroom and would make jokes with the classmates next to him. He did not take class very seriously, and that is his biggest regret of high school. He wishes that he would have studied more, since he is not able to attend the college of his dreams due to his grades.

The pair of Beats headphones were given to him by his best friend before he passed away. His friend was always there for him, and they did almost everything together. They would hang out almost every day, and both ran track together. The passing of his friend affected him deeply. So whenever he listens to music with those pair of headphones, Tate feels like his best friend is with him. That is why the fancy pair of headphones hold such a significance to

His initial step was the motivation to go to the Oregon State to get a scholarship; he was already a football player that had some of the attributes needed to be a college football player and then a professional kicker in the NFL. He talked a lot about having the Bone/Structure and body composition needed to be a kicker and he also mentioned that he practiced being a kicker in high school but was not that good at it. His main goal was to be a quarterback in college but the coaches identified him as having the potential to be a punter instead. One of the things that stood out to me was that he was given the opportunity

    A Tormented Soul outlines former Steelers center Mike Webster. Webster played football in his youth and later realized the serious repercussions that his passion had on his health. Webster's choice to play football, unbeknownst to him at the time, would have serious impacts on his health and if he would have know the effects earlier, perhaps he would have made a different decision. I am reluctant to say this, but I think it was worth it. I know it is uncouth to reference an outside source, but I think it plays in very well to this topic.
