People realy underestimate the time/motivation it takes to play the most physically punishing/demanding game. People say oh it isn't the most demanding game, but I do. Soccer is a lot of running, however you don't get the shit kicked out of you every single play, every game, every practice etc. Especially being a small lineman, (6'3" 195 lbs) it was nuts out there. High school football isn't something you do for fun, I hated it every single day until friday nights, then it really is like the movies. I've never been so hyped and in such a crazy enviroment.
