Hey, Football Moms

Hey, Mom

It's early September and your little guy is out there playing football on Saturday morning. And you're worried to bits.

You got into this fix for one of three reasons:
· You grew up with football and you know it's the greatest sport there is and you want your son to gain all the advantages of being a player. But still you're worried that your little guy is gonna get hurt.
· Your husband insists that HIS kid is going to play football. But the little guy is first YOUR son and you're scared to death.
· Your little guy has pestered you so hard about playing football that you finally tried to put your misgivings aside and you relented. But you're not happy.

If you're not worried about your kid playing football, you're not reading this article. So if you got this far, you're WORRIED.

I'm going to do my best to provide you an ounce of ease. I don't expect that I'll ever convert you from being a worrier ... and I wouldn't want to. I'm proud to be a worrier, too, just like you, and I think worriers have insight that most other folks just merrily skip right over.

But I do hope that in my writings ahead I can ease your concerns just enough.

My writing will be based on my own personal journey with my and my wife's kid playing football. It will touch on inspiration, education, motivation. Strengths and weaknesses, and as Troy Aikman proposed, getting real with yourself.

Football demands everything you've got – physically, mentally, and emotionally. There is no other game like it.

The bottom line is that if your little kid is privileged enough to be playing football, he's gonna gain most everything he needs to succeed in his life.

My mission will be to get you to understand that.

Hoping to talk with you,
James
