List these three in order of importance and why: Film Study, Strength and Conditioning and Practice?

       • Film Study,Practice, strength conditioning

That way you can move on knowing what you need to work on to win the game. Secondly, knowing your game plan inside and out and being confident in your technique ,I believe comes through practice. Thirdly, it is going to be strength. Strength is third because there is more to football than just strength.
