Good advice!

The best player on my HS team was a ferocious linebacker. His family was poor. He wore hand me down cleats that had split from the sole. On game day I would tape his shoe on his foot then screw in the cleats.
He wore a ratty half-T under his ratty pads. No arm protection. Even his socks had no elastic left and drooped around his ankles.
His look was extremely old school. He didn't care. He was ferocious and talented. He was our team captain all through school. Underarmor? Mike Farrell would have laughed at you.
