Henry Martin grew up in Johnson County, Kansas, but really, like so many Americans, he grew up in football. His grandpa played, and taught Henry’s dad, who passed the sport down to his boy. In second grade, Henry graduated from flags to pads, and took up quarterbacking.
From there, his education took him to local parks and a youth league, to private quarterback coaches and beyond. He learned footwork. He honed proper technique. He also once heard something that stuck with him. If you want to get better at football, a coach said, watch it.
