[QUOTE="Techster, post: 985697, member: 360"] I played football from middle school through high school. I tell people all the time if I had to do it over again I would have played baseball or soccer instead. I was really good at baseball, but gave it up to concentrate on football due to access and time commitment required of my parents in baseball. Soccer wasn't that big back then, not like it is now, and kids in my neighborhood just didn't play it. Like you, I remember getting my bell rung multiple times every season, but would continue because "being tough" was the culture in our program. My school had a very good football program. We didn't lose a region game all 4 years of my career. A winning culture comes with certain things, and one of it was staying on the field to help your teammates if you were still able to stand. I remember multiple games and practices playing in a "fog" and just trying to get through it play by play. Knowing what we know now, that's just a stupid thing given the long term impact of head trauma. It was some of the best times of my life, and I've made many lifelong friends because of football. However, it came at a price. [/QUOTE]
