For Korahā€™s Adrian Torok, thereā€™s no time to get caught up in the present and not nearly enough time to prepare for the future.

That much he makes clear.

Torok, after participating in the 2014 Ontario Prospect Challenge (OPC) as one of Ontarioā€™s brightest young football players, is thankful for the opportunity but remains focused on the future.

ā€œI really enjoyed the special coaching,ā€ he said, noting that he took away new skills that he hopes to build on moving forward.

Admittedly grateful for having the opportunity to participate in the OPC with the ā€œgreat athletes in Ontario,ā€ Torok is also proud of what he accomplished, acknowledging, ā€œit felt good to be able to compete with them.ā€

To build on the positive experience, Torok insists heā€™s dedicating himself to training and doing everything he can to become an even better player.

This summer, Torok is play in the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL), composed of some of Ontarioā€™s best young players.

Each year, the OVFL graduates players into collegiate sports at both the Canadian (CIS) and American (NCAA) level, encouraging younger players to aspire to do the same.

For Torok, getting to that level means working diligently with his high school coaches ā€œin the weight room in order to become stronger and faster.ā€

The weight room isnā€™t the only place Torok works to improve as an athlete though either.

Being a great player requires youā€™re also a student of the game. It requires a keen enthusiasm and a knack for picking up on the little things that make you a better player.

While Torok doesnā€™t model his game after anyone in particular, his passion lives on through his dedication to studying every player, finding things they do that can help him to improve.

ā€œAnytime I get the chance to see someone at a higher level at my position I take mental notes as to what works and how they do it,ā€ he said.

If Torok can continue to work hard and improve his game, he hopes to be able to guide his high school football team into the playoffs in November before hopefully returning to participate in next yearā€™s OPC.

What separates the great from the good is a willingness to learn. For Torok, that much was clear.

ā€œI just hope I get to learn more as a player.ā€
