Football is a game where your strength, speed, and teamwork are the most important qualities. 

In this game, our strength gets used the most. All the positions are based on strength in your overall body. What I mean is that from your hands to your legs you must have good strength to be successful in your game. During the game, it is just really fun to tackle other players to the ground. It makes me feel more enthusiastic and I feel more focused when I study.

Speed is the key factor in this game. All the positions must have it. But especially for the quarterback and the side runners who catch the ball and get touchdowns. During the process of learning football, most of the coaches get their players to do running exercises to improve their speed. Speeding down the field is fun too. It is like the game of cat and mouse, where you are the mouse, and the players who are trying to tackle you are the cat. Also, the moment of running down the field and getting a touchdown is so amazing. Everyone is cheering for you and your whole team is happy. It is just a great moment to experience.

Last but not the least, there is teamwork. In a good team, every player must have coordination with one another so that they could plan ahead to beat the opposing team. Also to be successful in the game you need to collaborate with your team to win. This skill set will help you in your day-to-day life by giving you the practice of working with people to achieve a specific goal.
