One of the most important questions players ask following the end of football season is, “What about next year?”
For many guys it’s a time of reflection on the season they just had, from triumphs and accomplishments, to failures and what-ifs. Rest assured, the moment that final whistle blows, you’ve showered, gotten on the bus or back to your car, it’s time to mentally gear up for the next season.
Breaks are few and far between at this level of collegiate football, with an offseason that spans from winter through spring. Those on the outside looking in might think that this includes long periods of vacation time away from football.
