Team work

As we all know many parents get there kids involved in sports because it helps them learn character, teamwork, and leadership qualities. When you play the game of football you have to play as a team or your chances of winning are very slim. When I played football I remember a game very vividly, I was 14 years old and are football team was undefeated. We came into a game with a couple of are key players injured, but are attitude was, we could not be beaten. Well that day we lost to are rival, there team name was called the warriors. Well both are teams ended up the season winning the rest of our games; both teams only had one loss.  It ended up, we played each other again in the championship game, but this time we had all of our players healthy. When are whole team played together that night we ended up winning by fifty points. Every person on are team contributed to the big win, it was a team win because we had great teamwork. Moral of the story is, if you don’t have good team work and you don’t play as a team you will have a very difficult time trying to win games. Sometimes when a very good team plays a decent team, the decent team wins most the time if they play together as a team. In the game of football I truly believe that teamwork is the most important attribute every athlete needs to have to be successful in sports. Along with teamwork come trust, respect, and a bond that becomes very hard to break. Football is probably the biggest team sport, because you cannot win a game with just one player unlike other sports. Throughout my years of playing football teamwork is one of the most valuable things I took from the game. Football has the ability to teach more than just touchdowns and tackles. It has the tools to teach people about life lessons and things they can use for the rest of their lives.
