Final draft

Commitment

Commitment is something that is hard to keep. A sport that needs a lot of commitment is football it is a year round sport. During the off season you may think it’s just a break from the season but its not you still put full effort and full time into it. Lifting is a major factor for football it’s were you prepare for the season to come to get bigger, stronger and, faster. It doesn’t come easy to do those three things because it takes hard work and a lot of time to put in it. The only way that you will achieve these three main goals, is to be committed to them and to work towards making them happen and not letting your mind tell you can’t do something.
There will be plenty of times were you don’t want to lift, but you go because you made that commitment to not only yourself but to a team that makes the same commitment to you. The team is what pushes you through the times where you want to stop and quit, they are there for you. The team is there for you on the field, they all trust you because you were there in the off season everyday committed and didn’t let them down. When you think about it you are committed to more then just the off season you are committed to fifty other players. If they didn’t see you one day, then they will find out why you were not there. Then make sure you show up the next day.
People say that basketball, baseball are emotional sports and that they take a lot more then any other sport. When a basketball or baseball team loses they just walk off the court or field with there heads held low and a little depressed. Football brings more out of a person. All the commitment and hard work that someone puts into that season leaves a big effect on them if they lose a game. Losing a game in football is nothing compared to any other sport. Football you cry in a loss but you might cry in a win, you are upset because you put everything you had and spent all your time working at winning. Committed to the sport means that you want to win because of how much work they spent.
Being committed to something means a lot because it’s hard to keep the commitment. Football is a tough sport to be committed to and takes a lot of your time, hard work needs to be put into it. There is no time where you don’t feel like doing it today, you need to push yourself beyond the point were you are tired and don’t want to go anymore. Things can get tough and more difficult but in the long run there is a pay off you win and be successful.

  2. James, I found your blog interesting. I didn't know that you needed to train during the off-season. Football really is a year long sport. It is good that you have the commitment to play it.
