10. Why do you love football?
Besides the feeling of accomplishment after a win, there is so much more that we as student-athletes, trainers, and coaches put into the game. We learn so much from football, it teaches us how to work as one, how to control unnecessary emotions, and how to lead and help others. I love football because the amount of effort you put in, is the reward you get out.
