American football is a game of passion, a time when nothing else matters except for going having fun, and fighting for your team. American football is a game that is played by two teams using an oval-shaped ball called a “football”. Players try to score points by passing or holding the ball and running to the end of the opponent’s field. It can help improve your speed, health, teamwork, and a lot of other things that are important in your life.
The coaches on the football field are supporting and carrying the team. The coaches help the players know what to do. They get the players in a huddle to solve what play they can do to win a touchdown. After figuring out what play they would have to do, they will see if the play would trick the other team and see if it worked. The Unis Middle School coach is a math teacher. This coach is Mr.Rushlow. Mr.Rushlow is an 8th-grade math teacher and Unis football team head coach. Mr.Rushlow commented, “I use strategies to motivate my players both on and off the field. I inspire them to be part of the team even when they’re off the sidelines” Mr. Rushlow encourages working as a team and he works to lead his players to victory.
There must be a limit on how many people are on the team. 53 players is a full football team. The players work as a team to win the game. Working together and being good with everyone on the team is very important. Whenever you have things on your mind while you’re playing or beefing with someone is going to make the game 10 times more difficult. Playing football means having all your focus on the game. If your focus is somewhere else it will mess with your mind. Hassen, a 7th grader, who plays on the Unis football team, quoted “I was inspired to play football by my older cousin because he was good at it and when I saw him play I wanted to try it out and ever since that day I fell in love with it.” Hassen played since he was 7 and enjoyed the sport.
Football is so interesting because many people enjoy football for its excitement, teamwork, and competition. It can be thrilling to watch games, especially during major events like the Super Bowl. Playing football can also be enjoyable, offering physical activity, social interaction, and the chance to develop skills. Jawad Bazzi, a 8th grader at Unis, who is one of the best defensive ends, and quarterback commented, “I react to losing a game by getting back on my feet and working harder every day and using that as motivation.” Jawad Bazzi, stated that he works hard after every game. He scored 3 touchdowns in one game and 2 point conversion. Jawad got 5 sacks on the other team’s quarterback back at defensive end and 8 tackles in one game. He also scored a 70 yard touchdown against our rivals. He shows a lot of dedication to the team and has winning potential.
Football fosters a sense of community and belonging among fans. The shared experience of supporting a team creates a bond that goes beyond mere fandom. The sense of belonging to a community that shares your passion and celebrates victories or laments defeats together is unparalleled. Football can help you better with teamwork and help you work together as a team to win a game. Football is passionate. Football isn’t just a sport, it’s a game where you can have fun, and also learn how to communicate with other people. Football helps you get and stay active, socialize with other people, and help you work as a team. Football is good for your health too. Football requires conditioning and strength training, which are excellent forms of exercise and good for cardiovascular health. Hopefully, this helps you understand why football is America’s favorite hobby.
