Making a Football Team

[mom4cheers]

Making the football team is easy because all you have to do is just keep trying and not quit. It needs dedication, brains, athleticism, heart and soul. Even if you have never played football beforeyou are here to see what it takes to learn. Being on the football team is not an easy thing to do but the rewards are worth it in the end. Being on the football team is something great because it shows leadership, courage, strength, and teamwork, and you are part of something special. The friendships and relationships you build on the team become a part of you for life. Your teammates become not only your friends, they will become your brothers. Treat your teammates and coaches with dignity and respect; you will get the same dignity and respect in return. Take criticism well, and use it as a challenge for you to do better. Make improvements through extra practice with friends or extra time in the weight room to improve your stamina. The better you make yourself, the better you show your improvement, the better your chances of making the team.

 

Try hard and you will succeed.

Never say no to yourself because if you believe you will achieve.

Never say you don't know what up-downs or push ups or burpies are because you will just end up doing them A LOT!

Take punishments like a man and don't come up with stupid excuses.

 

You will make mistakes, learn from them. Don't use them as a crutch. When the play is over it is over, move on to the next one and improve on it. Believe in yourself, your coaches and your teammates. Start each game with a winning attitude.

 

And last, encourage parents to become involved with your team and booster club.
