  7. Always keep a positive attitude and look for signs of good behavior if you want to get in. Don't drink alcohol or do any type of drug before a game; it will not help you. It will only make you look bad and you will be declined and kicked off the football team without a question! Don't sweat the small stuff and only make it work out better for other referees and comebacks. [4]
  8. If you don't have a pal or a family member that wants to join you, you can always join a new friend and look for a good start for those who want you in your goal to make all your dreams come true. Make sure that when joining that you should have respect and care for the person who supports you and your moves and don't act like a bully. Acting like a jerk to your other friends or football friends doesn't make you seem cool or whatever you think it'll help you achieve.
  9. In the process, do not say anything vulgar unless you want to get kicked off the football field. He just wants to be your best friend and help you achieve your quarterback. Because with most football coaches barely doing anything. It's always important to stick up for what you believe. Even if you think that it's going to get you into big trouble! Always practice.
  10. Your family members are always ready to help you whenever you have tough times. Don't destroy your life for football; balance them out.
  11. The last important step is to control your own temper. Do not get angry at your family, family members or even your friends that you now have. That can all disappear just like that in the blink of an eye and you can lose some of them. Do not threaten the rival team or their family(s) or friend(s). [5] You can lose your favorite spot in the football team and you can get in trouble if you don't watch what you say. Understand all this in order to get a successful job as a football player when you grow up later in life and finish high school and college!

      Warnings

      • Do not cut off your teammates in a game of football. It's rude and can cause the football coach to blow the whistle which may mean that you are out of the game.
      • If you have a criminal record, then it is up to you what to do about it. The coach probably already knows (most people run background checks before hiring someone), but your team has yet to know.
      • Do not smoke if you play for football. It will damage your lungs and make it harder to breathe, rendering you less useful.
