These programs change from sport to sport. Football Foot-ball by far is the most physically demanding sport of all. Football is the , most demanding because of the training required and the physical contact. The most strenuous part about football is the practice when the athletes get in good physical condition condi-tion to help prevent injury and to make the athletes better competitors. Most participants say the practices are hard but it is all worth it when it comes down to the game. The second most strenuous stren-uous sport is wrestling. Like football, the practices are very hard but it is worth it according to the athletes who are involved in the sport. Practices in both sports and most other sports last about two hours at Grand County High School. The wrestling season is followed by basketball, track, baseball and tennis. The one thing that all these sports have in common com-mon is the determination of the athletes themselves. them-selves. They make it work. The athletes work very hard at whatever they do. Being in a certain sport and succeeding in that sport are two different things. Participation in a sport requires a lot, but an effective competitor must have stamina, determination determina-tion and a good mental attitude toward that sport. The athletes live by strict rules and regulations regula-tions which are not harsh, but they are not lenient either. These rules and regulations include no use of alcohol, tobacco or drugs. Language and dress must be appropriate and hair must be trimed within certain standards. The athletes must have a physical examination before be-fore they can participate in any sport. They also must sign the rules and regulations form required by the high school.
