Answer
Hello,

Football is a very physical sport. The one thing that can make or break a football player is a fear of hitting. That is the hardest thing to break out of player. You are protected by equipment. You have or should have learned the proper technique to hitting. Understand there is always a possibility of getting hurt. Not trying to scare you, just want to be honest with you.

I started playing football at the age of four. From little league to professionally overseas. The most serious injury I ever had, I was playing "BASKETBALL" in the off season, and broke my ankle. This happened twice.
