The Seattle Seahawks, play their games in Seattle, Washington. They play football as a profession.
In 1976 a terrible thing happened. Before their first game, Lloyd Norstrom (team owner) died of a heart attack.
The following year the Seahawks made a bad move and traded their top pick in the draft to the Dallas Cowboys. This was a major decision that they regretted later.
The year after that, (1978) the Seahawks surprised the Raiders by beating them twice in the same season. This encouraged them to move forward and gave a feeling that if they worked hard they could do almost anything.
Things were not looking too good for them the following year. They lost their first five games. A week later they were humiliated by losing at the Kingdome. Amazingly they bounced back by winning five of their six ending games. It is important to not give up and to keep looking ahead. We must always strive to do our best, and that will be enough.
I thought it would be interesting to give a little early history. This team is persistent and presses forward to reach their goal. Today the team is preparing for the new season. They have had mini camps and take breaks for a weekend, then back to mini camp. They work out with weights and are working on high speed movements. Like most sports you have to put your whole self into them to prepare your body and your mind for this physical sport.
Football is a high contact sport and you must be well protected to engage in it. It takes lots of practice and conditioning to prepare for it. Then you have to learn all the team plays and be prepared for every game. The coach is very important in this game and he must have total cooperation from his team to get a winning team.
The latest news is Pete Carrol, former coach of the USS Trojans, who had a winning team, is now coaching the Seattle Seahawks.
