Q&A with Pen Argyl wide receiver Damian Tyminski
How has everything with the football season been going so far?
“I think the football season has been going well so far, our team has been working all summer and have improved drastically, we are just trying to work through some of those little bumps and tough spots in the way but we are a good football team.”
Have you been pleased with how you have played this season?
“No, I like to keep the mindset of never being pleased or satisfied. I love to share the moments of success with my teammates and coaches on the field but at the end of the day when I go home there’s always more to be done, if there wasn’t I would have every offer in the world right now.”
How do you feel your team has played?
“I think my team has played ok this season. Right now our record is 1-1 and I say we played ok so far this season because everyone on this team and staff knows the capability of our team this year. We are just scratching the surface of that, and cannot wait to fully let loose and breakout this year.”
What do you feel your team can improve on?
“I don’t have anything specific our team can improve on, I’m not Coach, I'm just a player and my job is not to critique my teammates, or my own team, I’m just here to perform and do my job at the best and in the best way I can possibly do it.”
What are the keys for your team being successful going forward?
“One of the main keys for my team going forward is just being consistent. I think we have a lot of talent and heart on this team. We know what we are capable of achieving. We just have to continue to work and improve every day. Consistency is what I would say.”
