I read this in Friday Night Lights and I feel like it is something all high school football players and supporters should think about:
"Athletics lasts for such a short period of time. It ends for people. But while it lasts, it creates this make-believe world where normal rules don't apply. We build this false atmosphere. When it's over and the harsh reality sets in, that's the real joke we play on people...Everybody wants to experience that superlative moment, and being an athlete can give you that. It's Camelot for them. But there's even life after it."
Don't take life to seriously. Play your heart out but remember it's just a game.
