Actually I have decided to play football after all. My reasons: 1. football is fun. 2. According to the coach, me playing is beneficial to their strategy. 3. It doesn’t really matter how well I do at state. Obviously I should do better than this previous year, but my college choice will be sealed by academics, track is a bonus. 4. After high school is over I won’t play football in college, so I’ll have plenty of time to train before the first year of college track. 5. We could be pretty decent this year and this is the stuff memories are made of.
