Football.

I think I’m drawn to the sport because of the physical demand, the teamwork, and honestly the hitting. Football players are some of the greatest athletes out there. Football makes you push your limits because in football you have to be fast, Strong, Agile, and in great shape. If you’re not in good shape you will not only succeed but you will have a much greater chance of getting injured.

It may sound bad or savage but it’s true that part of the reason I like football is because there is hitting in it. I don’t know really why I like it but I do. I think football is a healthy way for kids to get out there aggression this isn’t to say that I would be hitting people I see on the street but it is a good outlet for me and others.

To me a football team is like a machine because when you play every person has to do there job for the team to succeed. Because of this as well as the fact that you are actually protecting each other I think that a football team becomes family even if you don’t like someone or they don’t like you when you step on the field you are brothers.

I started playing football in second grade.It was only flag I had no idea of how football works. I only knew the name of one position and I was certain the right way to catch the ball was with your chest. Really the only thing I knew about it was I wanted to play and I wanted to be good. I had played basketball and t- ball before this and I was pretty good at catching but I was also a big kid so they put me at tight end. I caught two touchdowns that season.

The next season I was playing with a lot of kids that were a year older than me and initially I didn't start on either side of the ball. I worked hard that season because I really cared and wanted to succeed. Part way through the season I took someones spot on offensive line and eventually on defense. That was my last time not starting on offense or defense.

From third grade onward I have always played offensive and defensive line but I am I am switching to play more linebacker and tight end. Whatever position I am playing I will always adore football.
