During grade 11 our senior team took a trip to California to play the team at SunnyHills Highschool. Out of the week we were there we got to witness firsthand the differences between football in America and football at home.
As most people know, football is taken a lot more serious in America. We got out of the hotel for 2 days to stay with players from SunnyHills and witnessed what true commitment to one sport is like. Every day they wake up in the morning and go to school like everyone else, however they have specific school schedules, actual periods where their class would just be "football." They would work out one day and go over plays another, something we had never experienced. They also practiced for hours on end after school, none of them had part time jobs; their parents understood football was their lives. Even on Saturday, I found myself waking up early and getting dragged to a weekend practice.
Needless to say, they beat us during the big game.
