I've been playing football for most of my life. I started playing flag football when I was in kindergarten and played that all the way up until third grade. Third grade is when I was finally able to start tackle football. Tackle football was all new to me, but I instantly fell in love.
Playing football isn't easy, and the grind that it takes to get good and get a good amount of skill isn't pretty. Being good at football is hard, you have to put in 110% of your energy all the time. Whether it's waking up at 6 to go to weights or staying late at night for practice, you have to give it your all or you won't be good. I love this sport and I love putting in the work to see not only me, but my team improve as well. To be able to work your ass off and get good at this sport, you have to have the best teammates there by your side pushing you every step of the way and you have to do the same for them. Some skills that you need to be better at football include but are not limited to speed, agility, toughness, good work ethic, and teamwork.
