 Why People Should Play Football
The game of football is something that is very intriguing. Most people think that it’s a
only a game of super star athletes and hard hitting. Little do they know there is much
more to this game. Behind the scenes is where the true football players are made.
Football players have a tough schedule ahead of them. Such as, hard work, long days,
and fatigue. However, while all of this seems so difficult the rewards that being a
football player provides are priceless.
One of the greatest rewards of being a football player is feeling like you are part of a
“family.” The bond is similar to a big brother-little brother bond. Everyone is always
looking out for each other and nothing can separate them. Not only do they become
friends on the field, but off the field as well.
After the long, hard week of practice is over it is time for the team to see how they
match up. There is nothing better than preparing to walk onto the field in front of over
2,000 screaming and yelling fans knowing that you get the opportunity to see how you
stack up against your opponent. One main reason players enjoy it, is because if they
mess up at any time, there is always an opportunity later in the game to make up for it.
Unless you have actually experienced this, you cannot relate to it.
The game of football can always provide someone with great opportunity. It always
gives people that feel like they have nothing or something to hope for. Being part of a
football team is something that will never be regretted. The games and friendships are
things that are cherished forever.
