Vision-Doesn't lose defenders. It is what a runningback uses to find the best hole on sweeps
After each down there is a 40 second period where the play is picked & the formation is set, if you do not do it in these 40 seconds it is a penalty. Like I said, I learned from being on the track & experience that it is harder to run 15 100 meter sprints than to run 2 miles
Strength - You need enough strength not to be pushed around and to stand up against shoulder barges. Football dusn need steroid pumped nitwits. Also, inf ootball every player still needs to be athletic so they dont just put all their energy into eight training and strength.
Discipline - If someone goes in the wrong spot it can badly hurt. A defender in the wrong place, or who dusn listen to the keeper/captain, can leave a player open to easily score.
Vision - Losing defenders is one of the hardest skills for a striker. Choosing which person to pass to, and which one is the best choice is also important, especially for midfielders.
Obviously 15 x 100m sprints are hard, but footballers do not jog the whole game. They sprint loads of times, and then they do not get a "40 second" breather, they have to turn around and go and defend again. AM Football players get continual rests, whilst football players dont get any rest. Its sprint, jog, jog, sprint, sprint, jog. Thats harder then sprinting with rests inbetween.
Try being a Lions fan. My favorite team is the Detroit Lions, and they are also the only team I hate. Really loathe. Talk about a franchise dedicated to pissing off its fans, you've BEEN to the Super Bowl. We have won 1 playoff game since the 50's. Beat that! This team is so awful... I mean REALLY pathetic.
