As summer ends and autumn leaves begin to fall, the brisk weather creates the perfect temperatures for the hard hitting game of football. During summer practices football players at every level of play come to near exhaustion. Preseason games often result in injuries due to exhaustion. But the prize they are after is either the BCS championship football trophy or the Vince Lombardi football trophy. Both of these football trophies are actually awarded in the New Year but the fight to garner them begins in the fall. Players in youth leagues and high school athletics face a much lighter schedule of just eight to ten games spread over a very short ten-week season. Football trophies for these younger divisions are awarded at both district and statewide levels.
For every season there is a sport and for every sport there is a sports trophy. Whether it is tennis trophies in May, auto racing trophies in February, or the baseball trophies awarded in October, there is a sport ending its season in every month of the year. When that season ends a fabulous sports trophy is sure to be the prize.
Of course working people need their hard fought after awards as well and for those in the corporate world the trophy is supplanted by any number of beautiful wooden engraved plaques. Surely the salesman of the year deserves his personal version of the Heisman Trophy.
