🏈 You’ll Be Fine With 'The Pro Bowl Games'

Excitement renewed in February?

Perhaps.

The NFL Pro Bowl has ended and will be replaced with the Pro Bowl Games. Unfamiliar with the sequence? 

Well, you can read about it here: Pro Bowl Games

Sometimes, we have to make changes in our routine in order to keep the fire burning. Wait, let me less cliché that sentence: Go forward by letting go. It's easy in this case but more difficult with individual pursuits.

See, the Pro Bowl ran its course for 71 years. Give it its flowers. But, football, with its aggression and injurious environment did not fit an all-star game played at the end of a season after each player has endured a physical grind. 

Well, what about other aggressive sports that have all-star games such as ice hockey? They hit in ice hockey. Heck, you can get injured in any game. Plus, the other sports have their all-star games in mid-season.

Phew! Calm down what about... crowd. Have you seen a football injury lists? You still have to block and tackle in football, which increases injury potential. Who wants to injure themselves in a fan-game? The other sports do not have a high cause for injury:

Ice hockey. They changed to a 3v3 tournament. You can still play hockey at a high level without the checks. Problem solved.

Basketball. Its NBA All-Star game is still 5v5. Sure you can sprain an ankle or hurt a knee. But, players are not hampering down on defense to cause injury.

Baseball. MLB is the MLB. No one is charging the catcher or crashing into walls with 80 games to go.

Lacrosse. Similar to all three aforementioned. You can see a competitive lax game without the checks. 

So, it was time for football. Flag football and skills will replace the regular game because who wants to see a tackle football game played as though it is touch football?...Hence, a reason for the change.

Rest his soul and what a phenomenal player he was...Sean Taylor did not want that at all. See his massive hit here: Sean Taylor - Greatest

We can adjust to this change with some ease.

Much success to you | Derek | @teemptraining | derekteempt@gmail.com
