What Is a Football Player!?

"Football is an honest game. It's true to life. It's a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So if life" – Joe Namath

This is a favorite quote of every football players. It is an inspiration to play football and love the sport, understanding its potential and values it teaches you. Football is a team sport, 11 guys on the field at once must all work together to make the play, whether you be on offense. Running the ball to the running back or throwing it to your wide receiver. Everyone is working hard just to make that one play. Or whether you be on defense. Calling blitz calls, calling coverage, which man your covering or which gap you got. This is all teamwork. This very quote inspired me to play football because I like the sport all together. Not only does it teach you teamwork, but it teaches you sacrifice, determination, respect, responsibility, loyalty, integrity and courage. A football player already playing has these values built into him, like a machine where it already naturally does something like its supposed to. Someone who is joining will learn these values and learn to follow them. This is the great thing about this sport. This is what a football player is.
