When practice starts it is peak of summer, late July and August. The sun beating down on a shade less field where the sweat just drops from your body into the equipment and uniforms that protects you. The commitment to practice is to sacrifice for victory as much as possible for the upcoming year. The preseason is the hardest part of the year and the team that improves during the preseason has a better chance of succeeding during the year. The preseason is a hard and difficult time for players.
Players have to get in game shape and learn the offense and defense for the year.
The spirit of the players raises considerably when the first game approaches. The first game is arrives and all the hard work of the offseason and preseason is now put to the test. The season begin and the hard work finally pays off. The game is special because it takes all eleven players on the field to do their job successful to make the play correct, because if a single breaks down, it cost your team points. Teammates have to have friendship and a bond going into the season because adversity will strike every team, and the leaders of the team have to be there to keep the team together.
