Palm Routes
E ver since I was a little girl I have loved football. In my childhood days we only had 3 choices of TV stations in my house. And also in those days, my daddy chose the station the entire family would watch for we only had one TV. On Sunday afternoons, it was always football so I grew to love the game. I was also a pretty good player, for a girl, as my brother liked to tell me. I was often his "center" if the team needed an extra. Occasionally, I got to play wide receiver however, this was a much more pressure packed position in the neighborhood. After a dropped pass, my brother would say to me, "if the pass touches your hand, you should catch it!"Oops! But my favorite part of the neighborhood games was the huddle. We would get in the huddle and my brother would call the play. Then he would stretch out his hand and diagram it on his palm, showing me the wide-receiver route. I was exhilarated to be included in the huddle...
