High School Football players spend all day taking instruction in the classroom, and all afternoon taking instruction out on the practice field. These kids are inundated with information on a daily basis, so I asked my followers to boil it down to their most useful piece of advice for newcomers who are about to embark on their first varsity experience. The responses were wide-ranging, but most carried the spirit of the infamous "Cherish It" scene from Billy Madison.

Here are some of the responses:

Some of the advice was... less than serious...

Some of the words of wisdom were more about practicality...

...and perhaps my most favorite- remember that not all of these relationships built through football end at graduation.
