Q:Do you have any tips for Football players?

A:Football is a hard sport because it’s going to get hot and sweaty, and you are takling people. Everyone has to work together because everyone is important. If one person doesn’t do their job right, then the whole game is messed up. If we have a good quarterback, but not a good o-line, the team doesn’t work. Unlike basketball, there is one dominant player. We also have a special bond.
