I started playing football when I was about 7 years old.
In HS I was 5'7" and about 210 pounds like a stump. I played pulling guard and I was on the kick-off team. Before the game started I was always pretty nervous. My father would give me his speech about how great he was back in the day which I ignored. My mother would be sensible and say that it seemed like it would be a challenge to hit someone nearly six inches taller than me and be able to knock them down. She wanted me to be realistic and focus on the "how" instead of the woohoaaa. She told me that "for every disadvantage one faces there is an advantage somewhere that one can create". Her idea was that different has its advantages.
