The Dallas Cowsboys lost there first game last year. That doesn't mean that they gave up because they lost. No, they keep trying unitl the end. Being a football player or any althlete you have to have the drive to keep going even when your down 20 points, don't give up. That's the most important characteristic of being a football player, to never give up. Along with never giving up, you also have to have heart and a passion for the game. If you don't love what your doing your going to look bad and also the team. If you don't enjoy the game, how do you expect others to enjoy watching it. When people see you they should see the passion you have for the game, not someone uninterested. So, do you have what it takes to be a football player?
