Football Playa

I would not say that my son is tough...he does have 3 older sisters...he is the baby.


So, I signed him up for football.


This could have gone one of two ways....#1 He runs for cover and hates it because it is too hard or #2 He loves it and can suck it up.


The very first day of practice the coach actually kicked a 5-year old off the team. I mean physically picked him up and told him if he did not want to listen and participate then leave. He was not wasting his time on him. Granted, I have never been around football coaches but I thought you might give 5-year old's a break. NOPE.  I actually loved it and wish you could have seen all the other boys faces...FEAR.  


Time to grow up and be a man...a 5-year old football "playa" man.  


How quickly he toughened up.  He loves it.


They actually gave them a play book. Brody came home and told me he was the RB.


They even make them take a knee while they are waiting their turn.


 Of course there is lots of running for not doing things right.
.

My favorite picture of the day...after lots and lots of running. His coach told him to do 10 push ups and sit ups every day. Brody does them and then looks for his 6 pack....nope not their yet. His coach told him he needs to buy the Madden football video game.  Now I can support everything else, but that is where I draw the line but for some reason his Dad was very supportive of this last one.
