I am Lizzy, and I am a Children's Hospital Colorado patient. I got to be a Kid Correspondent for the hospital. I got to interview my favorite player, Garett Bolles. The place I went to was the Broncos' practice field/practice facility \[Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit\]. I went to it with my dad.
Everyone I met was very nice. There was a photographer, three girls who took me around for a tour, and we met Garett Bolles. Garett is the one I interviewed. He was nice, sweet, tall, kind and thoughtful. He had a very low but deep voice. He has a very comforting voice.
I went on a tour and we saw the locker rooms, cafe, practice field and three Super Bowl trophies. We also saw the meeting rooms, their other trophies and watched their practice. I also got to do the interview with Garett. I got to see his locker and Drew Sanders' locker. I also got to eat food.
**Lizzy: What advice would you give a kid that wants to achieve their dreams?**
**Garett:** Number one, I would tell them to never let anyone tell you that you can't become something special. When I was a kid, everyone used to tell me that because I had a learning disability and struggled in school, I wasn't going to make it. People told me life would be better without me. But one thing I learned is you have to believe in yourself. That's the most important thing. If you believe in yourself and believe you can achieve something special, then you can do it. I used to tell people I was going to make it to the NFL, and they laughed at me. I took that as fuel, put it in the back of my head, and let that fire burn. That continues to motivate me. When I step on the field every Sunday or any time we play a game, I play for all those kids who want to live their dream. It gives me motivation to live mine because I want every kid — including you — to live theirs.
**Lizzy: What do you like best about your position?**
**Garett:** What do I love about my position? Number one, I protect Bo Nix. ... Playing left tackle, I love being in the limelight. I like going against the best of the best. When I cross those lines, I can just be myself. ... I can just play ball and go into my zone. It's the best feeling in the world.
**Lizzy: What would you do if you were not a football player?**
**Garett:** If I wasn't a football player, I'd probably be a lacrosse player. Lacrosse is my favorite sport besides football. Either that or a motivational speaker or someone who works with kids.
**Lizzy: How do you handle losing a game?**
**Garett:** One thing about me — I hate to lose. It's the worst. But being around my family helps. When I go home, no matter what people say online or in the media, my kids still think I'm a superhero. They run to me, hug me and that makes me feel better.
**Lizzy: What is the most exciting game you have ever played?**
**Garett:** The most exciting game I've ever played was last year when we beat the Chiefs and clinched the playoffs. That was incredible. I also loved going against Myles Garrett on "Monday Night Football" when Bo Nix threw that 93-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Mims. That was pretty cool.
