I believe in playing football. If you play football it gets you in shape. It teaches you how to work as a team. It also teaches you skills.

	Football is a great sport, it teaches me to stay in shape. This sport has taught me to be tough or strong because I work as hard as a professional football player. I also want to be strong that way I can be one of the best on the field and make it to high levels. One time I told my coach “ Can you work us harder because then we can become one of the best teams?” So we started working hard and became in the top five. We would do hitting drills to make us tougher.

	Football has taught me to also work more as a team. It teaches me this because during practice I have to block for my team sometimes. I also have to share the ball with my teammates to get a touchdown. This is important because if you don’t work as a team, then you become selfish or and “lonely” and what I mean by that is no one will want to work with you.

It has also taught me some skills that I can use for a lot of different sports. Football has taught me to catch, throw, and run faster and also run long distances throughout every practice and run them without stopping. The sports that you can use these skills for are obviously football, but besides that it is baseball, track, soccer, dodgeball, cricket, and rugby.

All of these reasons are important, but this one isn’t really important it is just a social reason. I play football for fun and not this one, but I am a social person and this one is for social.The reason is I get more friends if I play football because a lot of people in my grade play football and during school they talk about football a lot.
	
In conclusion, the reason I believe in playing football is because of many reasons. Football gets many people, including me, in shape. In order to win in this sport you have to work as a team. This certain sport has taught me skills for many different sports, including football. I don’t like saying this, but you become more “popular” and you get more friends.
