Many players will not follow the rules until they can relate to them. Someone will need to be brought in to talk to the players about what happens when they do not tackle correctly; serious injury can be caused to not only the player who is tackling, but also to the person that is getting tackled. The story of a football player named Inky Johnson helps describe the heartbreaking effects football injuries can have on players. Johnson’s mother gave birth to him when she was only fifteen years old. Johnson grew up in a poor home with eight other siblings, but he did not let that stop him from pursuing his dreams (Inky Johnson). Johnson, from a young age, told his older cousin that he wanted to play in the NFL. The two worked at it for years by running from light pole to light pole until a coach came to the street and signed the two up for organized sports. Johnson fought off injuries his whole high school career and received a scholarship to the University of Tennessee (Inky Johnson). Things were going well until it came to the third game of his junior year when he came up to hit someone and he blacked out and fell to the ground. Johnson´s teammates tried to get him to get up but he was unable to move. Johnson severely damaged his right arm, tearing all of his nerves (Inky Johnson). Now he lives with a paralyzed arm. This would be the end of Inky Johnson´s chase of his NFL dream on the football field. Kids do not think about this happening to them, they just play the game, but

The book ''Fourth Down and Inches" by (Carla Killough McClafferty) is very interesting because it showed what can happen to you by playing the game of football. The book goes in depth of mainly college and professional football players and what types of contact can injure a person. This book makes me sad because it tells you the stories of different players and what caused them to either leave the game for good or getting killed by playing it. Death has killed many football players either on the field or while they're at the hospital from just hitting each other not meaning for the person to get killed. This book tells a lot about that and how young these players are and what their family has to go through. This book goes way back to when football

Sports are a significant part of society and spectators enjoy particular events regardless of the type. However, there are many players who develop special working and social relationships with whom they are participating regardless of the type of sport. The relationship and how people interact with one another can be the determination of how successful a team can be. The particular film based on a true story that I chose is titled When the Game Stands Tall. This film consists of a high performing football team of De La Salle High School in the state of California. Jim Caviezel portrays the head coach (Bob Ladouceur) as a man with such vision and passion that goes beyond the fundamental principles of coaching the game of football. The football team had won 151 games without being defeated which is the highest winning record a team has had in the game of football. The film shows the internal struggles of the players in their lives as people, and how they perform on the field. It also shows the external tragic difficulties that they face while they attend and play for De Le Salle High School. In the movie, the head coach helps the students/players by not only coaching them but also showing them how to live a flourishing life by committing to endure difficult life situations and the way to overcome them. He helps teach the principles of brotherhood and companionship with the team that they build. In the movie, the head coach and the staff had taught the players
