You can't win without losing

"You can't win without losing," is spoken by a close family member. I have done this day in and day out. To be a student- athlete, you have to commit to good grades, good behavior, hard work, and to the hours of practice you have to do to get better at. You might be wanting to do something for the weekend, but you have to work on your blocking technique instead. Also, you could have a job you have to do on weekends, so there goes playing xbox at your friends house(I don't play xbox anyhow, just trying to make a point). Eventhough you have to stay after school everyday to sweat your but off and hit, it is all worth it once gameday comes. When you are about to play, and you are listening to the fans cheer and the band playing just as you run onto the field. You will know that all that time you lost was worth it. The blood, sweat, and tears are all worth having afterschool if for that one day everyweek, you get to be under the lights of Jacket Stadium. You can't get to that point without losing time in the first place afterschool. In the end though, it is my favorite thing to do on weekdays when we don't have a game. Many people know what I am saying, and understand how it is worth it.
