Nearing the End of a Season and the Beginning of the Story

As we come to the end of the Football season, its been a journey to reach this point.  Some time has been taken to just think about how the story should be told.  Not a lot of writing or maneuvering has been accomplished, but when you have a game that is always changing, capturing the on the field activities most times tells the story that is needed.

The players have battled all season to reach this point.  The team is in the playoffs and fighting for a chance to be called number one in their league.  They have played a full season and have become one unit and now they have entered into the second season to try and bring home a championship.  Some guys have opted to just call it a career, with the pressures of the game and the responsibilities of home just too much to bear, others have had their time ripped from their hands by sudden injuries that just couldn't be avoided.  How can they be when bodies are flying through the air at top speeds and bodies are crashing into each other like two Mack trucks racing down the highway and heading right for each other.  There is no guarantee that at the end of the game there won't be a player pulled off on a stretcher but they continue on hoping to reach their dreams and hoping that the reality of their lives won't stop their journeys.

As we come to the end of the season, and we start to focus on the true stories and lives of these players, we will hope to share a story about these valiant men with their struggles and hard work on how they were able to pull it all together and remain focused on their journeys. A great story is about to be told and we have front row seats.
