High school football sharpens the mind and the body

Did you know high school football is a total body workout? It’s true!

The constant stop and start nature of the game improves everything from endurance, speed and strength to coordination, agility and flexibility.

But it goes even further, enhancing mental health too. It relieves stress. It boosts endorphins. It clears players’ heads. And it improves focus, clarity and self-esteem.

High school football is mentally and physically demanding, from conditioning and weightlifting to practice and playing. Players are always moving … always focused … always in the zone.

But most of all, they’re having fun! And it’s the perfect way for teens to create healthy habits that will last long after their playing days are over.

Talk to the students in your family about participating in football! This is building a strong mind and a strong body. This is high school football.

This is what it's all about!

When you’re a part of a team, you’ve got to work as a team. That means relying on each other, as well as yourself.

The pitch-black sky, the bright white glow—players and coaches know that there’s nothing like the Friday Night Lights.

The white glow of sky-high lights. The pounding rhythms of the pep band. Time ticking down second by second.
