Football I loved playing football and the excitement it brings. With football size doesn't matter I'm super small and I'm still tackling the big boys. Also, you can use brawn and brains. Brawn, you use line men or linebacker. Brains you use quarter back, cornerbacks and wide receiver. Also, this could help get you in shape with all the workouts and exercises and drills. With football it's never one sided sometimes you win some sometimes you lose. No matter what though, you always have fun.
Basketball When I play basketball it's a whole lot harder. Basketball you either went against the best team in the league or the worst team in the league. My team was in the middle; we were not trash but not the best. Also, it's easier to show how much of an athlete you are. For example, like fast breaks on fast breaks you run down the court at full speed and make the layup or the shot. Also stopping a fast break, you have to get down there as fast as you can and block or defend the shot.
