What is the most important trait in a football player? Reasonable minds disagree. It depends on the position being played, the system being used, and several other factors. I'm going to write about one trait that applies across the board in all sports, and it is a trait that won't take away from other abilities. I'll discuss the advantages in youth sports, as well as the NFL. Yes, you read the title. I'm talking about endurance.
If you are more interested in the NFL level, skip ahead a few paragraphs.
Part One - Youth Sports
Folks who have kids getting into sports often ask me what their child should be doing to get prepared for a season in a particular sport, and my first answer is always, "Ask the coach". The reason is that many parents want to help their kids improve, but the way they go about it sometimes conflicts with the coach's desires.
