the things i wish i had know before starting football are:
1) one of the scariest things in my life so far was the first game i played right before kickoff. i had no idea what a hit in a game was going to be like. i wish now that some one had told me how little it actually hurts so i would have not been so freaked out for nothing.
2) the second thing i wish some had prepared me for before i started was how had you had to go in the game to get any thing done. i think that if i had known this before my first game i would have done much better in the first half or so before i got a sense of what was needed on the field. some advice to anyone who is reading this and thinking about playing when you step on that field you go all out. other wise the sport of football is being wasted on you.
3) the third thing i wish some one had prepared me for before football season was how much running you do. be it for conditioning or punishment you will run miles upon miles in the care of coach Sean or really any football coach the only advice i can give you is before season try to be in as good as shape as possible because everything get harder with pads. and remember even if the conditioning seems hard it all pays of in the end when the other team is drenched in sweat and you say to then this is like a warm up for us the look on their face is priceless.
if you are reading this because you want to play football at drake i would like you to engrave these tips in to your mind and go play.
