Coach Quesada The feeling of playing in a football game is hard to explain without experiencing it personally. The rush of adrenaline you get is overwhelming. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you deal with the surge of adrenaline you get. I wonder what it feels like for a coach going into a football game. Are they excited, nervous, confident, worried? I’ve wondered how the game of football is from the coach’s perspective. I’ve seen it and experienced the game of football as a player but never as a coach. I’ve always had that thought in the back of my head, why do we do drills and plays this way instead of another way.

The job of being a football coach is very time consuming. It could take approximately “30-35 hours a week” for a high school coach.(CoachCP) There are even more hours spent if you’re a college coach. My coach has practice four days out of the week. Every practice was three and a half hours long. And on one of those practices a dinner with the whole team. These can add on extra two to three hours. We then had games on Friday nights. We would start to get ready and be gathered up at four o’clock. After our game ended and everyone went home at roughly 10:30 P.M. That is five and a half hours in one day. We would then have film the next day for three more hours, one reviewing it and two going over it with us. That is twenty five and a half hours a week. That is how many hours that he puts in when he is with the team on a weekly basis. I would assume he spends roughly ten more hours away from the team. If I was a coach currently I don’t know how I would be able to balance football, school and family. The coaching would take majority of the hours in a day. Then on top of losing most of the day I would come home to hours of homework with little to no time with my family. All three together would be too hard to struggle. If school wasn’t in my schedule currently, I believe I would be able to handle coaching football and family. It would still be difficult but I’ll manage
