Hello all, I am going to try out for school football this year! Tomorrow morning is Early Bird Conditioning, and I am debating whether-or-not to go. It is from 6:10 AM to 7:05 PM (before school).I like the early in the year part, but not the early in the day part. Should I go to this or just go and do the regular conditioning in? I always like the extra practice, but I can't get up early. What do you think I should do?

If you want to be part of the team, you should live up to the obligations that come with that privilege.

Should you make the team, you'll probably have LOTS of practices before school - and some after, I'm sure. Plus weekend games, travel time, et cetera.

Getting up early is tough - I'm not a morning person at all, myself - but when we want something enough, we find a way to make it happen.

Besides: the more you practice and work, the better you'll be when it comes time to try out. And the coaches and other adults will be more familiar with your skills, your attitude, et cetera, which can really help when it comes time to pick out players
