As a diehard Nole football fan and alum of the Florida State University, it pains me to say that it is time for our great leader, Bobby Bowden to call it quits. No longer do the Noles place fear into their opponents heart when they walk onto the field of Doak Campbell Stadium. No longer are sports casters raving about the quality of Nole players who step on the field. It has gotten so bad that very rarely are the Noles seen on prime time stations. Instead they are playing on ESPNU or ESPN classic stations. What has happened to the good quality players that once made up the Seminole football team?

What other sport is there were every region has a team? What other sport has players which youth football leagues play on the team for at least four years? What other sport has given fans so many classic games, and upsets? What other sport allows all the teams to start, for the most part, equal, and allow a team to have a magical undefeated year? What other sport has produced so many local legends?

A good football party must have a football theme. Since it is a party for football enthusiasts or players, a well-themed party will be great. The first thing you need to do is put up a list of people who are into sports, especially football. If you are throwing this party for someone, you might need to call up some of his friends to join the party because it is most likely that they share the same interest when it comes to sports.

Cone drills are really limited because of one main factor: the football players running through the cones are not strong enough to produce the proper amount of force to actually be agile.

I remember losing a championship football game as a young player and I still experience what that felt like. I remember ending the game and being beaten up, bruised and emotionally drained. I gave it everything and we still lost and it didn’t make sense. I believe situations like that put people in spots that change them for good or bad. It’s those moments where you have 2 choices. Do you keep going and fight or do you give in and quit? The best athletes use those moments for motivation and do whatever they can to never feel that way again. This really begs the question…what can youth coaches do to develop mental toughness in players?

This season, the kickoffs are advised to be moved from 30 to 35 yard line. By following this rule, the number of touch backs will be increasing to a great extent. Much more exciting and enjoyable scenes will be seen in this season of college football.

Kaka as he is typically known is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world. Although Kaka is still considered very young, he began his soccer career at the young age of just eight. Kaka had his major debut in 2001 and scored 12 goals in 27 appearances. In 2007, he was awarded the FIFA World player of the year.

I tell all young football players to pay attention to what they are putting into their bodies. Do research and incorporate good nutrition and proper supplements. With a good workout plan you’ll really start to notice the results and feel the difference in your game.
