My son just finished his senior football season (got all county accolades, and plenty of praise from the coaches and fans). He had played every year since the third grade peewee games and enjoyed it for the most part. The last few years, he played his heart out, and was making more tackles than the whole rest of the team combined, and this year just figured out that if no one else seemed to care, why should he, (the team went 0-10, so no trophies, or recognition).
I don't think the losing record broke his spirit, I think it was the other lazy kids out there going through the motions, that all seemed to get hurt MORE than he did, (he played for a small school every offensive, and defensive play of every game except for special teams).
I think maybe it's the unprepared, lazy, out of shape kids that are playing half heartedly that are the ones in the most danger from the studs who want to plow through them.
