Hey, I am a linebacker at Kaufman High School and I believe that I finally realized what it really takes to have a winning team. It's not talent that is keeping our team (for instance) from winning, we have size and speed and lots of talent, but I believe that the closeness of your team and your WANT to win can establish a winning team. My team for instance came into district 4-1. At that time we were averaging around 400 yards of total offense a game. But for some reason the team was satisfied with that and lost their will to win, I found it harder and harder to keep my team-mates focused, and from there on it's all been down hill. With every loss it seems that we fall farther and farther apart as far as our team goes. Anyways, I believe that it isn't really talent that seperates the winner from the losers, but teammanship and Will.
Also, I saw a post earlier this week about the effects of powerlifting on football players. I have powerlifted since my freshman year & have only found it to help.Because of powerlifting I am squatting 520 lbs, benching 300, and deadlifting 480, all at 180 lbs. The only advice I have is STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH. All those squats, in my opinion, slow you down (I am only running a 4.8). I say the worst Powerlifting can do for ya is a back-ache.
