The level matters not. Pee Wee, Pop Warner, middle school, freshman, JV, varsity high school, D3, D2, big-time collegiate football, Arena, CFL and the NFL all result in similar feeling this time of year.
Every football team enjoys its own case for success.
The moment every football player steps onto that summer field while picking up whiffs of the freshly-cut grass and feeling the scorching heat is the singular spot he feels it.
This is his year. This is his team’s season.
It’s at this moment that talent doesn’t factor into the equation.
