Football Season
It’s football season! I know that some of you could care less. I know some are die-hard fans with blood-oath allegiance to their team. I know that some have been injured while playing the sport and have felt left behind.
My confession is that I love football. I played for a few years and now blame my memory loss on the concussions I incurred while playing…but I still love the sport. I believe it taught me some good life skills and I have one life-motto that comes from football…”Don’t believe the hype, you have to do the work!”
There are others, more knowledgeable than I, who have words of wisdom to share from the sport.
